I think these pictures show a Trumpeter swan based on its bill shape and color which is what Bill Maynard and Brandon Percival originally thought they saw (and later questioned) at Rice's pond at Fountain Creek Nature center on Tuesday. Comments on this swan's ID are welcome, is it a Trumpeter or Tundra swan? http://www.avoapples.com/birds/IMG_2497_cr.jpg http://www.avoapples.com/birds/IMG_2513_cr.jpg Thanks!
