It would be great to see these swans a little closer. I was there yesterday
from 2:30-3:30 P.M and saw 6 Tundra Swans fly in and swim to the ice where
the
other swans were located. I'm sure these were Tundra Swans because I saw the
feathering (not triangular) of the forehead and I also saw the yellow loral
mark on one of the adults (The other 5 consisted of 2 adults and 3 immature
and were the same size) . There were a total of 16 swans and most of them
were sleeping. The Mute Swan stood out because of its much larger size, and
I was looking for another of similar size which would have been a Trumpeter,
but all the sleeping swans seemed to be the same size as the obvious Tundra
Swans, so I figured I missed the Trumpeters, but was surprised at the number
of Tundra Swans for this time of year. Today, Dar saw Trumpeters so I'm
wondering how many there actually are of each species.

Swans were seen on the distant ice shelf viewing SE from Jefferson Park this
morning. Morning light angle is bad from the park. I drove over to the end
of Nicolet Boulevard to get the sun at my back and this was much better
looking to the NE. Still distant but 20X-30X provides good viewing. I
counted 23 swans (same count as Daryl from 2/1) but about half were
sleeping. I could see a single mute swan but the rest that were active were
trumpeters. Based on the total, Daryl's tundra swan is probably still among
them.
