You can’t miss them as you drive north along Highway 97 heading out of Penticton. The Trumpeter swan is an impressive bird species that has chosen to winter along the edges of Okanagan Lake.
They are difficult to photograph given there isn’t anywhere to pull over to get a picture. That’s why Penticton photographer Steve Heer was very happy to capture these beautiful birds with his camera just before the winter freeze set in.
