Im currently at pickerington ponds and am not wholly convinced that the three swans (besides
the two mute swans) are tundra swans. These three swans have an all black bill, lacking any
yellow, which connects to the white of the head in a sharp v. Also their bills are at a steep slope
and are in no way concave. This leads me to believe that these three swans are trumpeter
swans. Still an impressive sight nonetheless!!
