Possibly the same bird found nearby by Jack Hayden on 10/30. This bird, which may or may not be the same one, was found at this particular spot by Wendy Beers on 11/6 and has been seen here every day since.

Tundra Swan (Cygnus columbianus)Observer
pgeorgakakosDescription
Accidentally spooked a bobcat off a tundra swan that it had just killed. The swan was dragged over 50m from the waters edge, as seen from the track in picture 2. Upon arrival the swan was still warm and appears to have a broken neck with a wound on its nape. Bobcat was large, approximately 25 lbs. 3 other swans were seen on the smaller body of water, 2 juveniles and an adult.
