We were checking out the marina area at Bluffers Park. We saw a group of 14 adult and juvenile Trumpeter Swans. But, there was one unusual looking swan. It looked like a Trumpeter, but it had yellow legs. Sorry, we didn't have a camera. I looked up swans with yellow legs and found the Trumpeter Swan Society site. I looked under juvenile identification. I read that a leucystic Trumpeter, which is rare, is born white, doesn't go through the gray plummage phase as a juvenile and has bright yellow legs as an adult. I thought others might want to take a look and get some pics of this bird.
