My wife and I just spend the Holiday on the Penninsula. Very wet and windy!
Most notable, for us, was finding a dozen or so Tundra Swans at Neah Bay, in
the river area beyond the town. Saw more along Hwy 101 where the Duckabush
River flows into the Canal.
My bird guide suggests that the distinguishing feature for Tundra Swans
( versus Trumpeter) is that they hold their necks straight up, not curved.
We had some discussion about whether this meant "in the water" or while
walking too. The band walking on the marshy area by the Duckabush were not
being as careful as to their form. Can others confirm? Thanks.
