c5. Trumpeter Swan (and duck), Yellowstone. They are fairly rare in most of the country (endangered). They spend summer in the Arctic and winter in U.S. We have several flocks that Winter in the Skagit River delta about 60 miles north of here. I keep trying to Photograph them, but they are VERY shy, and usually feed in the center of a 1 mile x 1 mile field, away from road. Farmers don't like photographers trespassing. They are wonderfull to watch when flying. About a 4 foot wingspan.
c6. Curious Elk
c7. Pronghorn Antelope, near Yellowstone.
