Hi Bryan!
-- I'm not an expert with waterfowl, but based off of your photo, I'd suggest not entirely eliminating the possibility that this is a domestic type goose. I could be wrong, but I would assume any swan to be much larger (I'm not sure how far away you were from the bird when you got this photo). Something else that catches my eye is the entirely bright pink bill--is this a mark on younger swans? Because Tundra and Trumpeter Swans would have a black bill, and Mute Swans would have a darker red/orangey color with black on it too.
Let me know what you think, or if other birders get better looks at it!
The birds are happy, and so am I
