Three Swans a Swimming

I couldn't capture a good photo of Seven Swans a Swimming so I settled for three. The two gray ones are young cygnets. Males, known as Cobs, and females, known as Pens, form a close bond and usually mate for life. I'm not sure if this is a Cob or a Pen swimming with the youngsters.

Many trumpeters migrate from colder climates, such as Alaska, to ice-free water for the winter.
