We have a few (very few) introduced Trumpeter Swans here in Maryland. Unfortunately, the turtles kill most of the cygnets. Here is a photo of a Trumpeter Swan family with one remaining cygnet. It did not survive either. The Tundra Swans will be arriving here shortly in large numbers. And, of course, we have the resident Mute Swans.

Nice photos, Gary ..... do the Swans have any predators in Alaska ?
