Description
An awesome trumpeter swan spreading his beautiful wings, while stretching in Potter's Marsh, Alaska. Trumpeter Swans demand superlatives: they're our biggest native waterfowl, stretching to 6 feet in length and weighing more than 25 pounds, almost twice as massive as a Tundra Swan. The trumpeter swan is also the largest extant species of waterfowl with a wingspan that may exceed 10 ft.
These swans are often found with a mallard or other species of duck near them to feast on the forage the swan brings up from the bottom of the marsh.
