A few swan shots.

[Fotografer]

Up here in the the Great White North, (Minnesota) there's a town called Monticello.</p>
<p>In this town, there's a woman who has done quite a bit to help out the Trumpeter Swan population. </p>
<p>From Dec to March, she helps feed the 1000 - 1200 swans that stay the winter.</p>
<p>When she started doing this 21 years ago, there were about 20 pairs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>There is a power plant upstream from her (Sheila's) house, and when the temps dip below zero F, steam rises up from the river making for some very dramatic scenes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here are a few shots from Monitcello, Mn. over the last couple of years.</p>
