The Swan is Loyal and Elegant

There are six species of swans around the world. The Black Swan, Black-Necked Swan, Mute Swan, Tundra Swan, Whooper Swan, and the Trumpeter Swan. North America is home to the trumpeter swan. They have long, graceful necks and feed on soft water plants. With their black bills, feet, and legs, white feathers, and almost 8-foot wingspan, they are world’s largest waterfowl. The swan prefers colder climates and their habitat includes wetlands, lakes, estuaries, and marshes. 

Swans migrate thousands of miles between breeding grounds. They are highly protective of their love ones and will attack anything perceived as a threat. They establish life-long mates after three or four years and are devoted spouses and parents. In fact, swan nests are incubated by both parents. Baby swans or cygnets can swim soon after birth and fly as early as 65 days after hatching. An amazing sight is when the swan takes off to fly, and it seems like they’re not going to make it.

Swans are adept at gliding and progressing smoothly through waters. Similarly, they move through life with poise and humility. Emotionally sensitive, the swan appreciates life and has the gift of calm silence. The majestic swan is connected to the ideas in art, music, and dance and are considered magical - appearing in mythology, folklore, and fairy tales.
