The Whooper is still around. From the photos I have from Whatcom County early in the swan season, from Snohomish County north zone from January and the many photos of a whooper in Skagit today, this appears to be the same swan. The bill pattern in all the photos I have or have been posted show the same bill pattern. With Whooper and Bewick swans you can ID individuals by their distinct yellow patterns on their bills. Nice find for all you out birding.
