A pair of Trumpeter Swans have been visiting a pond in nearby Placer County.
These birds are only the second recorded sighting of this species in Placer
county (the first was last spring at the same location).
The most significant problem I faced in making these photos was the 180mm
f/2.8 APO-Elmarit-R's minimum focus distance.

technical stuff: R8/DMR, 180mm f/2.8 APO-Elmarit-R, shoulder stock &
monopod. All comments welcome.
