I am feeling pretty good for those that may be wondering.
The stones are gone, I am having a lot of pain but I am happy to be home and sharing here.
I only have a few pictures today, that were taken maybe 2 months ago,
I never shared them here.
These were taken with my cell phone.
I had my camera but the battery had gone dead, I did not want to miss capturing this,
I was pretty sure this was a once in a lifetime sighting for me.
I have read and studied pictures and I think this may be a
Trumpeter Swan
although they are not usually found in this area.
Could be a Tundra Swan, they are seen in this area.
The Trumpeter is larger than the Tundra if you are lucky enough to see them side by side,
that would help distinguish some of the features.
They are both large, wetland water birds, with a long neck, short legs and white adult plumage.
The swan in question has an all black bill, the mute swans bills are primarily orange.

I'm glad you are better but hope the pain is gone soon. I would not know what these swans were...they are so different! Take care and stay warm while you get better. Hugs, Diane
I also am happy you are feeling better and hoping the pain goes away quickly. These photos taken with your cell phone are wonderful! Thanks for the clarification between the two swans. Take good care of yourself Debbie and thanks for sharing the swans that I so rarely get to see. I can't remember the last time I saw one.
Hello Debbie, I am so glad you are feeling good and recovering.
Love the swans, they are all beautiful.
The Trumpeter Swans have been seen in the area.
Take good care of yourself. Love the photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Your pics never fail to please. How wonderful to see the 2 kinds of swans.
Glad you are home recovering. Your cell phone takes wonderful pictures.

Love seeing the swans! Saying a prayer for you as you recover from those kidney stones! That must be awful.
Debbie, it was good to read that you are home and recovering, aside from the pain, which hopefully will be short-lived. We saw 2 similar swans in the river here a couple of months ago before the snow and ice. You certainly had good captures.
