Sylvan Stream - Mute Swan - Cygnus olor

"This is a little study of a quiet moment I experienced in England. It could have occurred in
the United States or Southern Canada because the mute swan has been intoduced in suitable
habitat. It is now well established as a breeding bird. It is, of course, the royal swan of England
and is associated with the lush and tranquil countryside.

While visiting a friend in Wiltshire, the heart of ancient England, I saw his resident, but wild, swan.
The house is a converted old mill with the river running through it. A little side stream joins the
main river below the mill. It is a quiet, shaded backwater forming a perfect location for a nest.
The male in this picture is arching his neck in a dignified, restrained threat to my
presence in his territory."
