warmth of the Swan's feathers is a bit unexpected - I have viewed the image
on four different monitors in three different OS's and while their
pallete's are differing on all of them, a strong yellow/brown quality to
it's feathers is consistently there. I presume the coloring is due to
something in the swan's diet at that particular pond. That or 'Hard Water'
stains and they need to lease a water softener for their nesting home! :-)

The coloring is, as you've guessed, hard water stains.  This happens with
Sandhill Cranes too:
