After reviewing all the info on swan sightings and going out to the area, I believe that what was seen is dark juvenile Trumpeter Swans. Stepping out on a bit of a limb: I would be deeply concerned to see free flying black or mute swans here in WA or anywhere else where they are not native. Our native species are important, the last thing we need is more exotics of any kind of any species in the wild which likely ends up creating problems with our environment and our native species. Removing said exotics from the wild and back into captivity is best.
