Podrobnosti k pozorování
I am changing this one from Tundra Swans. On Whatbird the vote was like 6 to 3 for Mute Swan versus Tundra Swans. I personally thought that the black at the base of the bill pointed to Mute Swans anyway. I know that Mute Swans are very rare at the Salton Sea, but then so are Tundra Swans. Curtis can correct me if I am wrong. Goodness knows it wouldn't be the first time. These birds were flying right north up the edge of the Salton Sea sea at an elevation of maybe 20 to 25 feet. I saw them on my way back to my car. I have to thank an American Pipit who landed right in front of me and made me look up as I had my head down on the walk to my car against the stiff cool breeze. I had a few other better pictures that I put on Whatbird, but those heavily cropped pictures won't show up right on ebird, so I'm attaching some other ones here that are only cropped on one bird each time and then some un-cropped pictures of both Swans in flight. Like I said above, let me know if I am right or if they are Tundra Swans. I think either one is still a good find for our county.
