TRUMPETER SWANS, BLUFFER'S PARK, SCARBOROUGH, TORONTO, ON

      We can ID these swans as adult Trumpeter Swans, rather than Tundra Swans by the V - shaped border on the forehead of the Trumpeter Swan ( vs. the U-shaped border on the Tundra Swan) and the broad connection from the eye to the black bill

( in a Tundra Swan the eye seems almost disconnected from the bill).

   In the first photo the Trumpeter Swan is about to take off in flight.  Two of the three swans had yellow tags on there wings which could be read ( M13 and L07).  We plan to report these tagged swans to the USGS Bird Banding Lab.
