Photographed in New Jersey. The Tundra Swan was hanging out with Mute Swans and is quite a bit smaller than this species. Please click on image for more details.

Lovely details Axel. Like the catch of wind on the feathers and the trailing leg!

Excellent shot. The yellow in the beak is tiny.

Nice exposure and angle, For me, it could use a tad more space to the right. We get thousands of Trumpeter's out here and very few Tundra's.

Not a species we see here on Naturescapes, that I can recall, in recent times, so a fine capture, Axel.

So pretty- nice ruffled feathers and so delicate compared to the Mute Swans we usually see. A treat!

Excellent with eye-level pov, Axel!
The ruffled feathers add interest too ...

Fantastic colours, the white and the blue are a perfect match in this soft light.
