I refound the Bewick’s Swan where Kathleen and Poo found it
yesterday. Bring a scope. Lots of Tundras and a few Trumpeters
for a swan clinic if anyone is up for it!
I don’t do face book some one send me address for paying dues if you want to lower price of gas slow down 10.–15 mph thus getting more miles per gallon do the math
Tonight I can hear Tundra Swans flying over my house in Island
Park for the first time. I guess spring is getting close.

Wish I could have taken a photo. Only have the camera on my phone.
Tried taking a photo of some groups flying over in daylight,
today. But, can’t begin to make out what I was actually seeing.
Note of interest to those. Like me who did not know about this across from parma rural fire station in a week or two they see up to 100 or so turkey’s in the field to the right of the house
Kathleen Cameron just asked me to report that she and Poo Wright-Pulliam have a Bewick’s Tundra Swan on a pond near Carey. The pond is on highway 26 south of Carey where Payne Rd. connects with HWY 26. She sent a photo and it’s a cool looking bird with a lot of yellow on the bill.
