I can’t tell the difference between a Trumpeter and Tundra swan


Looks like size and the face are the critical ID points. Trumpeter is bigger, and is solid black between its bill and its eye. The tundra has a small yellow patch between the bill and the eye. If you haven’t done much birding before, it takes a bit of practice to quickly zoom in on obscure points like that on a live moving bird.  :)
