Photo was taken by myself and published in 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.)

| This pair stayed close to one another the entire time |
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.
FYI: The first photo above was published in the Nashua Great American Downtown online publication last week. Thanks to all who asked in the comments.

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.
How lovely to see, you shared some every nice photographs.
All the best Jan
The mating activities are beautiful like a dance. Some wood peckers do the same thing.
The swans are a great capture. I have never seen them in eastern Canada.
These are wonderful pictures. Hope you get to see them again.
How fun!
It's always exciting to see something different, isn't it? The swans were a nice sight, and you took some super photos too.
The swans are beautiful and remind me of spring. Dorothy, I have trouble accessing your email for some reason. Just want to let you know I got the cute card (sanitized...smiled). Thanks! 😊
These are quite lovely, Dorothy, and the white on blue, lovely!
Wow? Neat photos
I hope the pair are frequent visitors to your viewing area.
Thank you. Happy New Year to you and Grenville, Linda P
Lovely photos of the swans. They are such regal birds.
How splendid for you. We have a pair that seem to be overwintering here; they are hanging out in a part of the local river that is too swift and narrow to freeze. I hope they will either make it or get themselves south.
What an incredibly awesome sight Dorothy 😍😍😍
I loved how you shared this with us ❤️
Images are very impressive and captured beautifully 👍
Special thanks for sharing the interesting details as well

Beautiful birds.
In the spring and fall I travel to the Reserve to look for the swans. So far, I've been able to find one pair in the spring and spotted a pair this fall.
