Hi,
After what seemed like a long cold winter, spring migration of waterfowl is now happening around Edmonton. This morning I saw two dozen Tundra Swans on a pothole pond along with some Canada Geese, and Canvasback ducks, mostly, but a few other ducks were also there.
My question is about the Swan in the front of this photo. I am wondering if this may have been a Trumpeter Swan moving with this group of Tundra Swans. The shape of the bill, plus no sign of any yellow, I am leaning towards this being a Trumpeter Swan. What do you think?
