13th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Dance of the Trumpeter Swans

The snowfall was just starting to slow as watched a group of Trumpeter Swans swimming on Yellowstone River. They dabbled for food beneath the water's surface, preened, bathed and flapped their wings. I looked over to see this pair, immersed in their synchronized courtship dance, oblivious to the world outside.
