Field Notes

Description:

Distinguished by the facial features and the fact that Trumpeter Swans are much more rare here. This is still considered uncommon most the year and rare in the winter though. In photo #3 you can see Canada Geese to the right and Emperor Geese in the background.

Habitat:

In a calm saltwater bay with lots of grasses near the water's edge.
