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.

Some helpful swan tips:
