Observation details
Continuing bird. Large white swan with all black bill. Some reddish orange, visible along the inside edge of the bill, was observed while it was feeding. Feathering at the margin of forehead and bill was v-shaped, not U-shaped as in a tundra swan (though not as sharply pointed as I was expecting). Also, the lores were quite wide as opposed to the narrow lores of a tundra swan. Good looks through scope. Observed feeding, preening and occasionally calling. (There's little doubt as to how it got it's name!) Will post photos...
