I was at the mud flats 2-3pm today. The view was pretty magnificent:
100+ Tundra Swans resting on their way north.
On the edge was a larger swan more like a mute swan - but this one was total black with a beautiful red beak.

I have little experience with swans and this was a 1st for me. I have read about 'black swans'. Is this is a seperate species or a mute swan ssp.?

Regardless it was pretty beautiful. I wonder if they'll still be there tommorow.
