Subject: [MDBirding] Trumpeter Swan - yes!


I went out to the South Tract at Patuxent and was able to get good views of the trumpeter swan--way at the far end at first, but it came a little closer as I was walking around, so I was able to get a picture from almost straight across from the second viewing area, of it on the far edge preening. And the view through the scope was great--made it worth lugging it that far! Nice look at a pair of hooded mergansers, too.
