These are really big birds. I estimate that they're at least twice as big as Canadian Geese. Definitely kings of the marsh. I didn't see any geese at all and only a smattering of mallard ducks. The ducks mostly stayed close to the swans. There were lots and lots of these swans but there were also lots and lots of eagles present. The swans don't seem intimidated by the eagles but its clearly an uneasy standoff. I didn't see any eagles attempt an attack on a swan but it appears that the eagles are living off dead swans. I saw several carcasses of swans.
