      Indeed, swans are aquatic plant grazers, much like 'dabbling' ducks. I have a bunch of photos of their butts as they tip down to grab plants too :p. Posted 7 years ago

The Trumpeter Swan

The Trumpeter Swan is the heaviest native North American bird and is on average the largest extant waterfowl species on earth. It is the North American counterpart and a close relative of the Whooper Swan of Eurasia, and even has been considered the same species by some authorities.
