xrascal Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 These 8 unknowns were shot at Loess Bluffs NWR in northern Missouri on Jan 12, 2022 at about 2:00 p.m. I first thought they were Snow Geese, but the far left one and maybe the far right one appears to have a light reddish orange area around the head. Thanks for any help Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 They're swans. The orange color is staining from tannins in the water. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xrascal Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 Thanks guys, there were certainly a bunch of Trumpeter Swans up there, along with over 100 Bald Eagles. Bob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
