Thanks Elphaba. I was very excited to see those swans. They were all by themselves and quite visible, but very far away. Hopefully there are not other swans out there, because I really couldn't see them well enough or get photos decent enough to identify. This is all I got and you can see from the uncropped one (shot at full zoom on my little Canon Powershot SX-50 HS which is 1200mm) that they are far off. A couple stopped behind me and asked what I was seeing. I pointed the swans out and the guy got out his spotting scope and confirmed that they were Tundra Swans. He was from the UK and said he sees them all the time, so ??? hopefully right ID.
