Trumpeter Swan

Cygnus Buccinator

Pure white, elegant and slim
Over the water, they skim 
Before landing with a splash, and starting to swim

    Does trumpeter swan have a sound of its own? How is it different from the mute swan?

      The trumpeter swan makes a sound like a trumpet, a series of honks, as its name suggests. The mute swan, on the contrary, utters a grunting, warbling sound.
