Swans coloring pages

This is a free coloring pages blog. 

Today's new drawing is of a Swan

Scroll down to see the new swan 

drawing and some older 

swan drawings. 

Swans are the largest of waterfowl.  They are related to ducks and geese, but swans are bigger.  A larger male swan, of the species Mute Swan, Trumpeter Swan, or Whooper Swan... can be 59 inches or 1.5 meters long.  That is 150 cm.  

The swan is among the largest of the flying birds.  A large swan

can weigh up to 33 lbs or 15 kg.  Their wingspan can be 10 feet or 3.1 meters wide.  That is huge!  

Baby swans are called cygnets.  In fact, the constellation of Cygnus is a swan flying down the Milky Way.  It is visible now at night... if you get away from bright city lights it is high up in the sky at first darkness.  

I saw a swan take off from the water at the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge near Brigham City, Utah, USA.  It was beautiful.  

My wife and I also saw Black Swans that had escaped someone's estate when we were at the mouth of the Columbia River in Western Oregon, USA.  

We did not see wild  Black Swans on our trip to Australia.  They are actually native to that part of the world.  We have seen both Black Swans and White Swans in zoos and aviaries.  Swans are native to most temperate climates all over the world.  They are rarer in the tropics.  

To me, swans are the most beautiful of all birds.  Plus they are sooooo fun to draw!  Below are some swan drawings that I have done over the years of having this blog.  The first drawing here is new.  I finished it tonight.  It is of a swan on a lake with his or her wings open.  It is some species of White Swan.  

All the drawings, in printable form, can be found by 

clicking on the button labeled "Animals."

Then scroll down to the

bottom of the list of drawings 

to get to the title of the NEW drawing. 

HOWEVER... I have found that if you can copy the drawing on the main blog page and pasted it into Microsoft Word... and enlarge it...

you can then print a better drawing.  The "Printable" drawings

are saved in PDF format and it is not quite as good as PNG format.
The drawings here on this main blog page are PNG format.
