    The rusty neck stain is from iron oxide in the water. Trumpeter Swan is the largest of our waterfowl. Formerly endangered, Ohio started to reintroduce these swans in 1996. As a consequence, the species has increased dramatically here. In 2021, the number of breeding pairs was the highest on...

    We eventually convinced ourselves that there were at least four Trumpeter Swans in this field along with many Tundra Swans, but there could easily have been more.

    Trumpeter Triumph!

    This bird is one of two Trumpeter Swans I've been watching since they appeared about a month ago. They're rare here, and awesome in any case. They've been commuting between two local ponds, and the geography makes any flight shots difficult. So, I staked out the destination pond this morning...
