Well.... if a swan is dead and can't make any sounds it must be mute.

I've never looked that close, but will now!  Those things are huge, taking one down might be a challenge.

The lady I talked to said the don't want them here. By what I could find online image searching and going on the Audubon website they have orange bills with the black bulge near the head like the picture posted.
