I am still trying to solve the mystery of why the Swans look so different since I saw them in March. I ran in to a DNR officer today and he said that there are a couple other possibilities. These could be a hybrid Swan or their feathers could be stained from the change in their diet. Dipping their heads in to the marshy waters and eating the grasses could be changing the color of their feathers. So more than likely they are still Trumpeter Swans who have been swimming and eating in waters that are more acidic.
