Tundra Swan

Similar to the Trumpeter Swan. The Trumpeter Swan's range rarely enters into California. <br>
In California during the November and December the central valley gets the majority of the migrating Tundra Swans. Thousands fly into Butte Co to Merced Co. <br>
In the first image is an adult, all white with black legs and bill. The bill is less connected to the eyes then the Trumpeter. Some and not all will have a yellow patch on the lores. Orange grin line. The head is slightly more rounded then the Trumpeter. The juveniles are a grayish or dirty white, with darker face. Bill would be almost pink. <br> During the winter they maybe seen flocking with other species such as in the last image. These are Snow and Ross's geese, White-fronted geese and assorted duck species.
