Fellow Medium writers are always inspiring me to share the interesting pictures I have clicked over the years.
I read Marcus’s story of mute swan watching, and now, I have to share my experience.
Swans are rare compared to ducks.
I have seen swans in the San Diego Zoo, but spotting swans in the wilderness is a great feeling!
Near my first apartment, there was the Santa Ana River. Around it was Talbert Nature Preserve. One morning while hiking there, I spotted this lovely swan floating peacefully on the river.
Going by its reddish-orange bill, it’s a mute swan too.
They are graceful, but I learned they are very aggressive.
Swans are majestic, beautiful looking creatures. With really ugly temperaments. - Michael Gira
