I think these pictures show a Trumpeter swan based on its bill shape and color which is what Bill Maynard and Brandon Percival originally thought they saw (and later questioned) at Rice's pond at Fountain Creek Nature center on Tuesday.
Comments on this swan's ID are welcome, is it a Trumpeter or Tundra swan?
Thanks!

I usually know how to spell bird names, though I was using my phone to e-mail this sighting, so that was probably the reason. Great find Bill on the swan!Brandon PercivalPueblo West, CO
