It looks very white in the picture but at times it has a bluish hue. I’ve narrowed the mystery down to these two options. Thoughts? Thanks in advance. Attachments IMG_5732.jpeg 370.9 KB · Views: 13

I think the usual swans you'll find in a park setting are not protected, but the geese are likely to be Canada geese and absolutely are protected. Also ethically, those are smart birds. I'd expect there's a best nearby and a stressed mother.
