The Plattsburgh Press-Republican ran a photo this morning:

While I do not mean in any way to question any observers' identification of these birds, differentiating between Tundra and Trumpeter Swans is not a trivial matter. And, since swans of any sort are quite rare on Lake Champlain, it would be great to have details and/or photos of these swans "on the record," either here on NNYBirds or as part of an eBird submission.
