Yesterday Jo Solem, Emy Holdridge, and I trundled over to Harford County to look at the Trumpeter Swans there. Conditions were great for studying these birds.

I haven't really kept up with the trumpeter swan saga in MD and was wondering if someone (from the records committee?) could give all of us some background as to their status (regarding countability) - past, present, and future.

Also, is there anyone out there who can refresh our collective memory as to the "provenance" of the "regular" trumpeters at Schoolhouse Pond and Oxbow Lake?

Thanks!
