Interesting with the yellow legs on one of the Trumpeter Swans. According to The Trumpeter Swan Society web site (http://www.trumpeterswansociety.org/juvenile-swans.html) the yellow legs indicate a leucistic bird.

You go and see them.

I go and nothing. Even scanned the entire inner area  with glasses.

You are one lucky guy....

Lagoon next to marinas or other area?

Btw was that big burnt out yacht still there?
