Description: The trumpeter swans, also known as Cygnus buccinator, are majestic waterfowl that inhabit a remote lake in the inland of Alaska. Surrounded by lush vegetation, this lake can only be accessed via a narrow path. Here, a parent pair swims peacefully with their two cygnets. Could it be that Louie, the famous trumpeter swan from the movie 'The Trumpet of the Swan', is among them? This rare bird, with a wingspan of up to 2.5 meters and weighing 15 kilograms, captivates bird enthusiasts worldwide.
