Mute Swans-Landing and Swimming
by Sandy Steinman
Taken at Shollenberger Park in Petaluma, CA . Mute Swans (Cygnus olor) are native to much of Europe and Asia, and (as a rare winter visitor) the far north of Africa. It is an introduced species in North America, Australasia and southern Africa. It is called a Mute Swan as it is less vocal than other species of swan. They were very plentiful at Schollenberger and a good photographic subject. I felt fortunate to catch the one swan just as it was landing.
