Subject: [IBLE] The Swan Identification Dilemma
To: ible at yahoogroups.com

Idaho is one of the few localities in North America where
differentiating between Trumpeter Swan and Tundra Swan is a
necessity... at least if we want to be carefully accurate in our
observations. All too often I've heard "It looked too big to be a
Tundra" or "There was no yellow on the bill" or even "They kept away
from the others, so...."

None of the above are good reasons for making an identification that I
suspect is sometimes, maybe even all too often, incorrect, especially
in the western portion of the state. I've put together a new mini
piece on swan identification that I hope is helpful to some of us:
