Trumpeter Swans

Ski for Women 2003

These two fantastic feathered fowl were featured in the Anchorage Daily News on January 27, 2003 as well as Channel 4 and 11 television news as they flounced fleetingly through Kincaid Park. They played a tape of trumpet music including the theme to The Dating Game and The Lonely Bull, but the volume wasn't loud enough for others to hear. However, it was clear anyway that they danced to a different drummer. Or trumpeter, that is.

Oh, yeah, we're supposed to ski.

Note: We purposefully ski horribly so as not to intimidate others with our otherworldly beauty and grace. If you believe that I've got a bridge I want to sell you.
