TUNDRA SWAN, ASHBRIDGE'S BAY PARK, TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1/13/2026

   We can tell this swan is a Tundra Swan, rather than a Trumpeter Swan, by the shape of the top of its bill and the lores from both edges of the bill to the eyes.  In this swan they make a U-shape with a flattish bottom, which is more typical of a Tundra Swan.  In a Trumpeter Swan these have more of a V shape.
