I earlier posted that I what I thought was a swan was probably a Snow Goose, but more experienced birders have asked a few questions that helped me. The bird I saw was larger than the canadian geese, with a longer neck than a snow goose and, although my Sibley's showed Mute Swans with black bills, Cornell showed orange bills. So what I saw was PROBABLY a mute swan. So here is a question- do they migrate or did he just show up from a local pond somewhere?
