Sleeping Swan

"Sleeping Swan" by Patti Deters. A lovely white Trumpeter Swan (Cygnus buccinator) floats on the St. Croix River as she is sleeping with her head and neck wrapped around and tucked into her feathers. Her body is reflected in the still, ice blue water. This was photographed in the winter near Hudson, Wisconsin where swans gather near open water all season long.
