mute swans
Quiet white birds
Mute swans are large white waterbirds with orange bills and distinctive curved necks.
Native to Europe and Asia, they were introduced to North America as ornamental pond birds.
The name is misleading—they're not silent, just quieter than other swan species, lacking the loud trumpeting calls: A pair of mute swans glided across the lake.
