Today I briefly visited the small Lafarge Lake in coquitlam for a walk.
Usually the park has nothing but usual birds like Canada goose, american widgeons chickadees, bushtits and sometimes, rarely, woodpeckers, and diving ducks like goldeneye and bufflehead.
Today there was a swan there! For people who go there a lot it is quite a surprise to see a swan there since I have never seen one and everybody else was quite surprised. It sometimes walks on the ice and comes close and lets you get nice photos of it.
I was wondering if it was a Trumpeter or a Tundra Swan? I know Tundras are a rare(r) but just making sure.
Here are some photos I managed to get in the bad lighting

Also, I have a new website (It is still slightly under construction but mostly done) Its the same URL though, just re-designed http://adamdhalla.com/
Thanks for any help!!
