Flew the drone over some duck hunting spots today doing some scouting. Do those white birds look like Tundra Swans? There were 8 of them in a flooded cornfield. Not really something I have ever seen in my area.
I know the picture is bad but I really didn’t want to get any closer.

Doesn’t look like there is any yellow on that beak. My guess is a trumpeter Swan

Cannot really see it but there was a whole lot of dry feeding going on. Right side of photo the geese show up but there were a ton of ducks there also.

Definitely a swan.

Difficult to say with certainty, but the shape of the bill leads me to believe those are Trumpeter Swans.

Care to share the county? Maybe someone recorded something in e-bird.

I think you are probably right. That was in Lincoln County TN.

This is a legit how many species can you see picture.

I see:
Swans
Canada geese
Mallards
Pintails
Maybe a GWT up near the pintails
