It's a great garden and a wonderful place to go for a walk or jog at the end of a summer's day.

    Many of the Arctic birds are large white birds such as geese and swans but also include smaller and different coloured sandpipers and other birds.   Where is the best place to see these magnificent Arctic birds?  The most...

Caught a shot of a trumpeter swan outside Millarville in southern Alberta, near Calgary. Probably heading north to spend the summer in Wood Buffalo National Park, Canada's largest, straddling northern Alberta and the Northwest Territories.

Paul Hunter shares photos of Swans on an old Clay pit lake in North Yorkshire.

DrFumblefinger spots a few Trumpeter swans while on a walk in Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge.

DrFumblefinger enjoyed the trumpeter swans he saw in this Alaskan Coastal Wildlife Refuge.

 I enjoy birds, though I don't consider myself an avid birder.  I think swans are elegant, graceful creatures but before this year I'd only rarely seen them in the wild.  During a recent trip to Vancouver Island, I visited this bird...

A visit to Abbotsbury's Swannery is like no other, because its hundreds of birds are the world's only managed flock. They've been there nearly 1000 years.

Some photos of Swan and Cygnets, Hollywell Nature Reserve, Northumberland, UK.

Ian Cook captures some beautiful images of Whooper swans and shares some of their natural history in today's Pic of the Day.

Samantha and her husband had a great time walking along the Danube in Vienna. That was until a storm rolled in, lol. Here are some pictures she was able to take before the rain started.

Thank you not only for massively multiplying my knowledge of these birds, but also for the beautiful pictures of masses of the birds in flight...the patterns they form are fantastic!

I know how much U love birds, birding and nature, Tom, and you've give all of us who are even vaguely interested a reason to head up to Saskatoon. Of the many great birds you document, the one that has fascinated me the most is the whooping crane. Standing almost as tall as a man, it was at one time even closer to extinction than the California Condor. I'm far more optimistic about the Whooping Crane's survival than the Condors, and I really would love to see one of these in the wild.

All of these birds pass through Saskatoon during October. The Whooping cranes fly from the Northwest Territories in two or three days flying time and then stop for a couple of weeks near Saskatoon before flying on to Texas. I have been to their breeding grounds in the north and their wintering grounds in Texas so I have seen about 30 or so of them. They don't migrate in large groups like geese. They travel in family groups so five or six of them will arrive at a time. Some will reach Texas...

DrFumblefinger is pleased to find a gigantic swan greeting visitors on his most recent visit to this small farming community.

A ski hill on the flat Manitoba prairies. Hard to believe, but one exists.

DrFumblefinger enjoys a nice day along the River Avon in Stratford-upon-Avon, in the company of many swans.

Thank you for the nice pictures of swans, which are common throughout England on suitable rivers and canals. Back in 2010 we had a very cold winter and even a white Christmas. These swans were quite confused when the River Exe in Exeter froze over, but they are still looking for food.

This is not Judy Barford's swan song but it was a memorable experience nonetheless.
