The Swans Around Lake Eola
Whooper Swans � (Cygnus Cygnus)
Whooper Swans are the National Bird of Finland and can be found wintering in Great Britain, Northern Europe, and Asia Minor. The yellow coloring extends past their nostrils which helps identify them from the Bewick swans (a type of Tundra Swan). Most swans usually mate for life, but the Whooper Swans have a 6% divorce rate.
