Bill Maynard found an adult Trumpter Swan at south end of Rice's Pond at Fountain Creek Regional Park in Fountain.

I see I forgot an "e" in the word Trumpeter, sorry about that.  I usually know how to spell bird names, though I was using my phone to e-mail this sighting, so that was probably the reason.  Great find Bill on the swan!

At 3:45 the swan was still there and honking away but then it flew off to the south towards Fountain Creek.

I think these pictures show a Trumpeter swan based on its bill shape and color which is what Bill Maynard and Brandon Percival originally thought they saw (and later questioned) at Rice's pond at Fountain Creek Nature center on Tuesday.
 
  Comments on this swan's ID are welcome, is it a Trumpeter or Tundra swan?
 
 
 
Thanks!
