Description

FAA WATERCOLOR MARK DOES NOT APPEAR ON FINAL SALES
While at the San Diego Zoo located in San Diego, California I was getting ready to leave when I came across this pond near the exit gates I sat down on a bench and was playing with my camera almost getting ready to call it a day when I heard some splashing and I turned around and saw a bird I had never seen before. I quickly grabbed my camera and began to walk around the pond to get the best possible shots at this different looking bird. By the shape of it's body with the long neck and beak I knew it was in the swan family. Then I saw one of the keepers at the zoo and they informed me it was a Canadian Swan not found in the areas of California. The Canadian Swan has a unique protection by it's eyes for it's eyes and beak, with the exception of that it could pass for swans I have seen in New York.
