>From someone who was unable to stick around long enough this morning to find the bird:

Are we positive this is a Tundra Swan? In Tim's photos, which were great to get, there seems to be no yellow in the lores, which can apply to both species. But maybe there's some yellow there that's not showing up on my view. Lacking yellow, the rest of the profile features coud be somewhat equivocal. In one shot the loral skin seems rather wide at the eye (Trumpeter) but the head seem rounded (Tundra).

Any thoughts?
