Some birding friends of my dad Larry discovered a first year swan at
Lakeside Park in The Woodlands (Montgomery County) on December 9th and
took a few distant photos. The initial thoughts were that it was
perhaps a Tundra. My dad later also saw it and yesterday (10 Dec) they
got Lisa Griffis to go out on a kayak on the lake at the park to get
some better photos. You can see some of those photos here:

Martha Jordan, aka "The Swan Lady", a wildlife biologist and part of
the Washington Swan Stewards, a branch of the Trumpeter Swan Society,
has looked at the photos and indicates that this bird is a juvenile
Trumpeter Swan.

You can walk from the parking lot and down a short trail to get a nice
view of the lake.
