Trumpeter Swans bread in Southcentral Alaska, where they are becoming fairly common, in recent years. Tundra Swans usually over fly the
Anchorage area. But, for the last five days, 4 adult and 3 juvenile Tundra Swans have been feeding among the Trumpeter Swans at Potters Marsh on the south side of town. This is the best close up of a Tundra Swan I have been able to get so far. They are a lot more skiddish than the Trumpeters, and don't let photographers get very close. The distinguishing feature of the Tundra Swan is the yellow spot in front of the eye.
