Zooz Niagara. A look at the graceful mute swans.
Adults of this large swan range from 125 to 170 cm (49-67 in) long with a 200-240 cm (79-95 in) wingspan. They may stand over 1.2 m (4 ft) tall on land. Males are larger than females and have a larger knob on their bill.
The Mute Swan is one of the heaviest flying birds, with males (known as "cobs") averaging about 12 kg (27 lbs) and females (known as "pens") more than 8 kg (19 lbs). Its size, orange-reddish bill and white plumage make this swan almost unmistakable at close quarters.
Such pretty birds! So this is on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls?
