This morning (7:52-9:00am) at the Little Patuxent Oxbow Lake Nature
Preserve in the Russett Community located in the western-most tip of Anne
Arundel County, Jay Sheppard observed a Trumpeter Swan. The swan had yellow
wing tags. The number (960) was reported promptly to the banding lab.
The swan was heavily stained browns and other shades such that white was
not the predominate color. The swan was flying around the area and
returning, so it had not yet started to molt.
