Cygnus buccinator
The Trumpeter Swan (Cygnus buccinator) is a species of swan found in North America. The heaviest bird native to North America, it also is on average the largest extant species of waterfowl.[2] It is the American counterpart and a close relative of the Whooper Swan of Eurasia, and even has been considered the same species by some authorities.[3]
These two were moving along, but were possibly nesting by a nearby pond. They were merely sitting in the field, enjoying the rain.
