Description
A flock of five trumpeter swans including two adults and three juveniles swim gracefully along the ocean shore towards the Little Qualicum River Estuary near Qualicum Beach on Vancouver Island in beautiful British Columbia. Snow-capped mountains and the coast with dense forest can be seen in the distance in this serene nature photograph.
Trumpeter swans migrate from Alaska and begin arriving along the British Columbia coast at the beginning of November, reaching their peak numbers in January or early February. Spring migration for the Pacific coast population begins in mid- to late February, depending on the weather. This particular group of five swans broke off from about 25 others that were hanging out at the mouth of the estuary and did a leisurely tour along the beach, then swam back to re-join the flock. It was a magical experience to watch them glide gracefully by with the snow-capped mountains in the background.
