The Black Swan
The Black Swan – Normally it was only found in Australia, but with the transporting of rare birds, these swans can be found in the states as well.
This swan I photographed at a campground in New Mexico called Rusty’s RV Ranch where Rusty, who is a woman, had quite a few exotic birds that she took care of. Two black swans included with their own pond, which was nice.
Like most swans, this species has a characteristic “S” shaped neck and a large body. Black swans have one of the longest necks of all swan species relative to their size. They are large birds, with a wingspan of 6 feet or more, and a maximum weight of 20 pounds.

These are really amazing, up-close photos of this Black Swan Sandra. I like the red eyes and bill and how odd to find that white streak across the bill. How nice you could get up so close to take these shots.
They are so cool looking, yes those eyes are amazing.
Beautiful shots, the red coloring on their face really stand out against their dark bodies.
Yes, and those eyes. 🙂
