Beobachtungsdetails
continuing pair of adults, present since 30 October, and the continuing source of some confusion. initially reported by Diane Morton, somewhat tentatively, as Tundra Swan, and that same day Rueben Stoltzfus suggested that instead they might be Trumpeters. both Diane and Jeremy Collison quickly posted photos to the Cayuga RBA, which to my eye looked good for Trump. a consensus soon emerged, however, that they were Tundra. I was in Ecuador at this time, and was more focused on identifying foliage-gleaners and hummingbirds than on swans back home, so I didn't follow up in any way. this morning Nick Sly submitted an eBird checklist with arguably the best photos to date, and came down hard on the side of Trumpeter, based on the straight culmen, relatively broad area of facial skin in front of the eye, the more pointed (rather than rounded) extension of white on the foreground, etc. I decided to take a look myself, duly noted all the features cited by Nick, and now I too am on Team Trumpeter (which is where I was from the beginning, I guess). I have a few photos that I'll add later, although I don't know that mine will add much that isn't represented already in photos by others (especially Nick's).
