This pair of trumpeter swans was taking a nap on the ice this morning. I was intrigued by their one legged stance and symmetry of poses. I am not sure why they didn't fall over, but they stayed in that position for about 10 minutes. I slowly moved around to get different angles on them.

Birds rest on one leg - pull up the other to keep it warm, thereby saving energy as well as having a body that is more prepared for flight if the occasion arises. The would swap feet when needed
lovely capture indeed

Righjt place, right time - no substitute for that and getting a memorable photograph. Great capture.
