I took this series of photos just north of town where farms and fields stretch in all directions. High above me were the Trumpeter Swans. This is the annual spring migration, and these amazing birds have already travelled far, en route to Alaska and their summer nesting areas. They will grace our skies for a mere few weeks before instinct tells them that it is time to leave.

Wondrous skies are everywhere. Many thanks to Dot, whose idea it was in the first place, Tom, Klaus and the Sky Watch Friday team for this phenomenal weekly event.

Beautiful photos...love the swans...thanks for the info also...
Great shots! I love the title so appropriate!
WONDERFUL captures of the swans in flight!! I did a post this past January about the trumpeters...I am loving these photos!!smiles!!!
What a sight! And how lucky for you to see that... I think the swans here in Victoria (hello fellow BCer!) just have shown up here and never left... and they just float around and get fed by park goers. I almost had forgotten that they even fly! ;-)
Lovely collection of photos. I wonder when will the snow on the ground begin to thaw.
Such beautiful birds and against the blue skies they look wonderful!
Nice photos. I love the swans in formation in the second one but they are all good.
Beautiful photos all, but I particularly enjoyed the low-hanging clouds under Monday's post.
Hope you are having a marvelous weekend!
Each image is wonderful!
The swans are lovely against the blue sky~
great photos, I didn't know that swans head up to Alaska to breed, something new I have learned today!!

I can take as many swans in the sky as you can throw at me. Wonderful pics.
