Tundra not Trumpeter Swan/Northern Larimer County Yesterday we only had my 10x digital camera for viewing--I returned this morning with binos and scope and the Trumpeter is a Tundra Swan. This swan had all black bill and was curved not pointed on forehead and dipped on top unlike a Canvasback (Trumpeter shape). I also got to hear the swan fly across the road from the north pond to the southern one.
