Mute Swans

Here are a series of Swan images that I photographed years ago. Many are from a very small Natural Area near where I used to live. Since it had a small lake there were many times you could get nice frame filling images of them. I know many do not like Mute Swans, but I thought they were interesting photo subjects and were fun to photograph.

Very nice shots, Reed. I am guessing people don’t like them because they leave a lot of poop behind like Canada Geese? Also they should change their names. They are not exactly mute. 🙂

  Yes! They are quite noisy! Plus territorial! But they are fun to photograph! Plus they are a big bird, easier to fill the frame.

WOW Reed, these are fantastic and beautiful! They do get a bad rap, but I still think they are a gorgeous bird. 🙂
