Observation details
Strange swan that is apparently a common visitor to the lake and traditionally marked as generic swan species. Perhaps a Tundra/Mute swan hybrid? All white, often held its neck straight, with a straight black bill with yellow lores and pink near the tip. A very slight point where the forehead meets the bill. Very tame, remained calm even when children were running around and ate directly from a woman's hand at one point. Remained at the eastern edge of the dam for most of the time I was there, associating with ducks, gulls, and blackbirds.
