Rare Endangered Trumpeter Swan - a photo on Flickriver

            On the right is a common Mute Swan, but on the left is an extremely rare Trumpeter Swan (noticeable by the black beak and flat head). There are more than 500 Trumpeter Swans in captivity at zoos around the Globe, but a few years ago it was noted that in the wild there were only 77 breeding in Canada along the West Coast (British Columbia) and 50 in the USA.

This is my favourite capture of the day because of the rarity of this beautiful creature in the wild. A once-in-a-lifetime experience for someone who lives inland in Canada.
