Observation details
continuing bird found earlier in the day by D. Bell. For first part of count, along north shore of the main lake (approx. 34.269589,-118.382862). Later on, on baseball fields (approx. 34.271383,-118.381843), eating grass, despite the people lingering from afternoon sporting activities. [Bird was drawing a lot of undesirable attention from area youth.] Described from photos: swan, short tail extending approx. 60% of bill length beyond folded wings, dark gray legs. Facial characteristics likely the most diagnostic: dark eye isolated from dark loral feature, bill mottled black and pink, with black tip and pink extending nearly to feathers at corner of mouth with only a very thin dark area there. Looks good for juvenile TUSW.
