Storm clouds threatened the early morning light but the sun mingled with the mist for just a few moments as these Trumpeter Swans swam past. Trumpeter Swans were extinct in Ohio for about 200 years. I saw the first ones released near Sandusky when I was a kid. Years later my own county in Ohio has its first three successful nesting pairs and it feels special each time I have a moment with them.
