w1320 ~ Trumpeter Swan Pair on Ice

Image 38 of 40

Trumpeter swans (Cygnus buccinator) normally do not breed until their fourth year, and then form strong pair bonds that can last for many years. While still somewhat rare throughout the Great Lakes region, trumpeter swans are making a comeback in places like Barry County in Southwest Michigan. This pair of courting trumpeters was photographed in March 2007 near Barry State Game Area.   If interested in licensing a high-resolution version of this photo, please visit our licensing portfolio at ShutterPoint.com or contact us directly. © Keto and Katie Gyekis
