Folks,
I photographed a swan on the same pond 12/21/07 on the Ft Morgan CBC that was originally called Trumpeter and submitted as such. The argument made then by the CO CBC regional editors that the bird was a Tundra because of the lack of brown on the bird ie Tundra molting to white earlier than Trumpeter. This is supported by a line in the Nat Geo guide stating that Tundra molts earlier than Trumpeter. Which is correct?

These appear to be Tundra not Trumps. Still much brown and feet black
