Re: [cobirds] Swan ID help/Weld

2021-04-17 Thread Susan Rosine 
I saw them this afternoon. I entered them into eBird as Tundra Swans. They
are not adults. It was a judgement call, mostly based on their head,
including bill. We'll see if the reviewer confirms it or not. They just
didn't seem quite big enough for Trumpeters.

When I saw these two species in Michigan a long time ago, I remember beak
shape being the best way to tell the difference. Based on that I think both
of these are Trumpeter Swans with the long, straight bills.

Based on what I am looking at in Sibley’s, my guess is that they are first 
summer tundra swans. Their backs are pretty white compared to their heads and 
necks, and they seem on the smaller side when compared to the ducks. But then 
again, this is just a guess!
