Title: RFI- Swan
Post by: Kenora on May 03, 2010, 02:55:58 PM

After many months of visiting this site, this is my first post.  Sunday (yesterday) afternoon visiting Reesor Pond, I saw a pair of swans and am wondering if they are Trumpeters.  Their necks were held long and straight and the bills appeared to be all black or dark grey.  I hope that someone can help ID these beauties.

Yep, definitely sounds like a Trumpeter Swan to me. Mute Swans have a curved neck, orange bill, and black face.
