Saturday Critters #584

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.
