This morning (Nov. 4) about 10 a.m. there were 15 Trumpeter Swans in the East Lagoon along with the usual assortment of ducks, geese, coots and such. They took flight en mass and headed southeast.

They were quite a ways off but zooming in on the pics I can't see any yellow on the bills...
These are Tundra Swans. You can see that the base of the bill comes to a point at the eye, rather than including the entire eye. The slope of the head and bill is also suggestive of Tundra rather than Trumpeter. Interestingly, there is one Tundra in this picture and one in the picture above of 4 Tundras that shows a head/bill slant profile that is reminiscent of Trumpeter, but everything else points to Tundra.
