[cobirds] Swans at Holcim Wetlands, Fremont

This morning there was a Tundra Swan and a Trumpeter Swan at the Holcim Wetlands, on Rte 120 south of Penrose.  The two stayed close together and were rarely more than a few yards apart.  This enabled comparing the head shapes in a single scope view (and in a single camera frame.)  The Tundra had a large yellow lore spot.
 
They were also here Sunday afternoon but the weather was windy, snowy and getting dark.  I returned this morning in bright sunshine to get a better view and some good photos.
