gstacks 101 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Today in south-west Minnesota. I have no experience at all with swans. Saw about 13 in a pond. Trumpeters? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seanbirds 448 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 The juvenile is a Tundra Swan. Not sure about the rest, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gstacks 101 Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 I have more pics. I guess I didn’t realize how difficult they are to distinguish. What exactly are you looking at? Bill color? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blackburnian 1,181 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Most of these look like Trumpeter to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seanbirds 448 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I think it’s safe to say both species were there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
