I'm guessing that you've never been around live ducks and live geese in
separate groups to know how they sound. It looks like a waterfowl. It
sounds like a *duck*. :)
(Our neighbors had a couple of ducks for awhile. Well, they had 2,
until our dog ate the nastier one. The other one died about a year
later, IIRC. And then, years later, while visiting at a relative's
house, I woke up one morning to an interesting honking sound, and when I
asked over breakfast if one of the neighbors had geese, and got an
affirmative answer. So I have some idea of how each kind of bird
sounds. Swans I don't know.)
