Nice shot. But next time tell him to turn the other way - the lighting would have been better on the head if he were going left. According to Sibley re: Mute swan: "Juvenile [June-Sep] usually white, but may be gray-brown." He also notes: "mostly white by Nov." The Trumpeter "immature retains gray-brown plumage into first summer." Among the Tundra swan, "some acquire mostly white 1st summer plumage by Dec, all by Apr"
