We saw four swans on Tuesday morning (December 14), feeding together along the Otonabee River, south of Lakefield… beautiful!. At least one had a yellow spot near the eye and I wonder if they could be Tundra Swans. No tags were visible on any of the birds.  We saw them again on December 15 farther south, resting on the ice with some Canada Geese.
