This photo was taken by myself and submitted to this local online publication |
While we've become accustomed to viewing various types of bird life on the Nashua River from our 5th floor mill apartment window, such as gulls, Canada geese, Mallard ducks, cormorants and great blue herons. This was a very unusual site last week when we spotted this pair of Mute Swans. (All of these photos were taken indoors from our apartment.)

Hopefully, this pair will return again, so I could take some photos from the riverbank. Gusty winds and frigid temps made going outdoors very uninviting last week.

Good morning how special!! a few years ago now we spotted a pair of swans but haven't seen them again great photos too
Those are some great shots. I bet they were fun to watch.
...they are so graceful.
Birding from indoors is definitely the easiest. These are good shots,too. Let us know if they're published, please.
We are birding indoors too, but no swans at our vantage point! Those are great pictures of the swans.
I was taking pictures by the downtown bridge when a man stopped me to tell me that he a taken photos of swans from there, two weeks prior. I imagine that they are trumpeter swans as they have returned now and then for the past few winters, I think I made post last year or maybe the year before that.
What beauties they are, and so glad you could take zoomed photos from inside while the weather outside is definitely "frightful."
Those are great pictures, especially taken from your 5th story window! Wow! And I've never heard of "Mute Swans" before. I had to look them up to see if they are really "mute". I guess they aren't quite as loud and noisy as Trumpeter Swans, but they do still make noises. They certainly are beautiful! Thank you for sharing. I hope they come back so you can watch them some more!!
Beautiful photography! You should have your favorite one framed.
Swans aren't unusual here. Years ago I say a huge flock flying overhead. They made lots of noise and seem to cover the sky. You got good photos from inside and they were published!
What a treat to see them! They are gorgeous creatures.
So, did your photo get published? You said you submitted. I hope you did.
How exciting to see these magnificent creatures. I do hope they return.

the swans are an awesome sight from your home. I have only seen the ones in Jungle Gardens, none in nature. I would have been really excited
You got great photos. Mute Swans are impressive birds.
Swans are so beautiful. you are fortunate to have them to watch.

All the best Jan
