Swan (Whooper)
Both male and female whooper swans have white feathers with black webbed feet and legs. They can easily be identified from other white swans by the color of the beak. Their beaks are orange-yellow at the base with a black tip. The markings on their beaks are unique and can be used to tell them apart. They can have a wingspan up to 7 ½ feet.
Did you know…The name whooper is a reference to the call of this swan, which consists of a series of loud “whoops" that are not unlike bugle calls.
