Both have been spotted in the area, but tundra swans are much more common. My initial thought was tundra Swans based on size (compared the size to mute swans observed previously). However, I'm still not 100% sure. I'll see if I can find a shot that I can blow up of the bill. Thanks!

Those two are the most difficult to tell apart. If you had a close up of the face and bill it would help. Plus check the range. Have one or the other been spotted there before?
