Mute swan were brought to Ontario, Canada, in the 1950s. They are considered an invasive species in Ontario due to their aggressive behaviour and negative impact on native waterfowl species. The population has steadily increased since their introduction, and efforts have been made to manage their numbers and mitigate their impact.

The mute swan - Cygnus olor - is a species of swan and a member of the waterfowl family Anatidae.

Newly hatched baby Trumpeter swans are ready to go for their first swim, and await the male who is checking if everything is OK. Minnesota. Once the OK was given, they all scurried off the nest into the water for the first time. It was an outstanding case of child discipline.

Swans make a pit stop in Interior Alaska. These swans have migrated north for the summer months. They are a welcoming sight. These migratory birds show their beauty and grace as they make this stop along their path. They will feast here until the spring thaw waters recede. Floating on the water, their beauty is enhanced in their reflection.

The Trumpeter Swan (Cygnus buccinator) is the largest species of waterfowl with a wingspan that can exceed 10 feet. It is also the heaviest living bird native to North America. In the early part of the 20th century, with a population of less than 70, the trumpeter swan faced extinction. Aerial surveys eventually discovered a population of several thousand trumpeters around Alaska's Copper River. Some of these were carefully reintroduced to other areas and now the population exceeds 46,000 birds. The adult trumpeter swan has an all-white plumage, while the cygnets are light gray with pink legs. After about a year in age the cygnets gain their adult plumage. The breeding habitat of trumpeter swans is large shallow ponds, undisturbed lakes, pristine wetlands and wide slow rivers, and marshes. The largest numbers of breeding pairs can be found in Alaska but they also breed in northwestern and central North America. In the winter, natural populations of swans migrate in V-shaped flocks to southern Canada, and the Pacific Northwest. This trumpeter swan was photographed while wintering on the Skagit Flats near La Conner, Washington State, USA.
