ID Help - Toronto Pearson Airport (1 Viewer)

Spotted these two today along Etobicoke Creek Trail, west side of Toronto Pearson Airport (apologies for poor picture quality). I believe the first (2 photos) is either Yellow or Wilson's Warbler. The second (4 photos) looks like a Snow Goose (?).

Thanks, everyone.

The warbler looks good for Yellow, no cap and very bright overall (female Wilson's has greener tones on head and wings).

As for the other bird, it's actually a swan. Giving the date of the photo could be important here, as Trumpeter becomes more likely than Tundra after early spring. I see two features that may support Trumpeter (eye does not stand out from facial skin, feet look gigantic), but I'd be reluctant to call it 100% based on these photos.

I don't think I can rule out Mute Swan. They have a restricted range in Canada but are definitely present around Toronto.

I think I (very nearly) would - bill shape.

Agree. Not a mute swan. Neck looks long...

Yellow Warbler and (most likely) Trumpeter Swan, as mentioned above

Thanks so much everyone! It’s so unusual to see swans in flight around here and particularly a solitary one around the airport.

Anyway, thanks again.
