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.

4 first year what?  They are clearly keeping to themselves most the
time. They do appear slightly smaller but not 10 inches smaller.  They have
very deep pointed foreheads similar to trumpeter and mute.  Their tails are
clearly not long like the adult mutes.  Eyes are pretty offset like mute
and tundra. Head meeting  upper bill profile very smooth and straight more
like a trumpeter.

At this point I have to go with Mute Swans on the 4 younger birds but
I?ll be interested when some experts weigh in.
