The swans that used to be on Wilde Lake and are now at Lake Elkhorn are trumplings -- hybrids that are half trumpeter and half whistling. I just called the Columbia Association, which maintains the open space areas, and is responsible for placing the swans on the lakes. The woman there didn't know herself, so she got a report and started to read it to me. She got as far as 1989, and decided it was too long, so she's going to just send it to me instead. Hopefully the report is up to date. As soon as I get it, I'll post the information about what kind of swans are on each lake in Columbia. Sherry "Jeffrey A.
