This is a good example of how easy it is to get along if we would all take note of this. Canadian Geese are large, but this photo shows really how large the Tundra Swans are.

Your remark about the size difference is telling, since, at my first quick glance, I presumed that the smaller birds were ducks. I have Canada’s stopping at my pond frequently, so I know that they are very large birds themselves.
Thank you for the comments. They are beautiful birds. I love listening to them while they are eating. I could sit all day and watch them. As a side note I can always guess a photo is yours before I click on it. Very nice photos. What type of camera are you using?
Thank you for your compliment. It might be days before I see your comments here, so please email me at my normal account: bobvuxinic@frontiernet.net. Thanks.
Great job — wonderful photo
Thank you.
