The preening process of a Trumpeter Swam is a very graceful dance. They will spend hours preening every day to keep their feather healthy. I spend hours watching them waiting for wing stretch. The event is an elegant flowing motion that usually ends as quickly as it started. I captured this sequence showing the beauty of their dance.
The Trumpeter Swans performing their fluid dance is beautiful!
