The pinkish bills with blacker base tends to lean toward Trumpeter Swans?
Has anyone seen their feet?

It shouldn?t be this hard. 5 adult mute swans. No question there.time. They do appear slightly smaller but not 10 inches smaller. They have
4 first year what? They are clearly keeping to themselves most the
very deep pointed foreheads similar to trumpeter and mute. Their tails are

and tundra. Head meeting upper bill profile very smooth and straight more
like a trumpeter.
I?ll be interested when some experts weigh in.
At this point I have to go with Mute Swans on the 4 younger birds but
