Just checked; apparently it was a mute swan, not a whooper swan. Still sounds pretty amazing([[User:Vehement|Vehement]] ([[User talk:Vehement|talk]]) 20:07, 8 November 2010 (UTC))

Photo

I noticed User:jimfbleak's plea for a better photo inside a recent summary comment. Jim, if you're listening, I saw several Whoopers whilst in Iceland recently - they're by far the most common swan over there. If my girlfriend got a decent picture, I will plead with her for GDFL permission tonight. Pete 08:45, 29 Aug 2003 (UTC)

I added a picture but sadly it is slightly out-of-focus. I invite interested parties to decide between the drawing and the picture! Pete 21:38, 1 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Capitalization

Why is "whooper swan" capitalized several times throughout the course of this article? It should be changed to lowercase, unless Whooper is a proper name I'm not aware of. Paul Davidson (talk) 07:44, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Attacks on humans?

According to the Guinness Book Of Records, there has been at least one case, where a whooper swan has attacked and killed a human being. Does anyone have any info on this? Sounds pretty unbelievable, unless the human killed was a small child and/or there were several birds. They're not even known as an aggressive species. I remember standing just a meter or two from an adult bird and its nest and it didn't attack. (Vehement (talk) 20:05, 8 November 2010 (UTC))[reply]
