Observation details
Found by James MacKenzie and Nathan Haigh on November 19, 2022. Relocated today by Kelly Kline. Large swan similar in size to a Trumpeter Swan. The bill has extensive yellow at the base with a black tip. I was fortunate to hear the bird calling several times allowing me to record the swan’s call. The swan was actively feeding with Trumpeter Swans (and a few Tundra Swans). At one point a Trumpeter Swan bit the Whooper Swan. The Whooper also spent time resting in the field.
