The lead bird in the first photo is a immature and I thought the lead bird in the second photo was also even though the angle of the light makes him look almost as white as the adults. We've had several family groups swimming in front of the house and the young are the same size as the adults but are not as white as the adults. Earlier the gray color was more prominent. Have also watched the odd behavior that looked like the mating ritual they do when they first arrive in the spring. Maybe they are out of sync because of all the global warming.

Maybe just hooking up with a new mate. Seems that swans don't always mate for life and the lady swans can be a little 'loose' with their affections... Or Hup broke up a few 'marriages'...
