Title: Flock of Trumpeter Swans
Post by: rj_to on March 28, 2013, 05:03:58 PM

I spotted five trumpeter swans resting near shore at Kew Beach today. They were all wearing yellow wing tags. They were: L64, L78, L79, M05, and M06.

I did that. According to Kyna of the OTSR, they are all siblings who hatched last summer at Bluffer's Park. It looks like the parents booted them out to fend for themselves so they can start another brood.
