Trumpeter

A Trumpeter Swan/Cygnus buccinator has shown up in the East River, hard by the Williamsburg coast.

Typically found further north and west, this is the largest waterfowl in North America. I’d never seen one before.

Here with Mute Swan and Canada Geese.

Here seeing off a Ring-billed Gull who was going for the mostly sinking corn bits someone was throwing in.
