Attached is a picture of one of the Tundra Swans from today at Ausable Point Beach. There were three swans but the others were resting when I got there and this one was fishing the entire time I watched (for about an hour) - I was lucky to get a picture of something other than his tail in the air.

Subject: NNYBirds: Tundra Swan photos or details?
Hi All,
I was wondering if anybody has good photos or detailed field notes of the Tundra Swans that have been seen at Ausable Point. 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.
Thanks,
Matt Medler
