I should have clarified that the Mute Swan was the targeted species in my post.
Flying over the flat land North of Anchorage with Denali on the horizon we saw one mated pair on every pothole pond with a small shelter and a canoe on a few of them. One bird was always on the nest mound with the mate foraging a distance away. Pretty sight those big white birds on aquamarine ponds set in an emerald green landscape.
