A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Cygnus atrata
I only saw the one black swan waddling with several geese and ducks. It didn't seem to care about the others. As can be seen, it was a little hard to manage to get a picture of just the black swan, but not impossible.
An open enclosure at the zoo.
Found this beauty while watching the geese at the morning feeding time. They aren't native to North America so it was lucky that the St. Louis Zoo had one. Black swans are native to Australia and New Zealand.
