Great morning for pictures. Blue skies and cooperative birds. The Salish Kootenae tribe have been breeding, banding and releasing Swans over the recent years but these were born in the wild. Magnificent birds.
My first ever Gyrfalcon, one has been seen most of the winter around the area. Sitting on the power pole and gave me just a few seconds to take pictures.

The swans are nice but, of course, the gyrfalcon is the special capture; good for you.

Beautiful swan images and congrats on the Gyrfalcon. A hawk that doesn't get its images posted here often. Well done!
