brandon Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) I'm sure you've all see a photo of swans making the heart shape with their necks during their courtship rituals. Well I've also seen photos of this happening and wanted one of my own...today I accomplished that goal here in Windsor while shooting some waterfowl in flight. Here's the shot of the swans followed by a couple flight shots, enjoy!

brandon Posted March 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Thanks!...and yes i converted it to b/w...in the colour version they're bills are quite orange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Thanks.. up to the eye black pattern and bills are the same... and in that shot can't see their bill bumps (that only the Mute has). I counted the trumpeters spring and fall, from the air, for years for the Wye Marsh introduction program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
