Location:     Oxbow Lake
Observation date:     3/21/09
Notes: Overnight 31 Tundra Swan left leaving 1 behind. This immature Tundra Swan had stayed away from the flock most of the time while being observed. While observing the 1 immature Tundra Swan remaining on the lake this morning, a flock of at least 125 flew overhead heading northerly. Thought I heard a Common Moorhen laugh this morning, but couldn't find it to confirm. Returned from 4-7pm and the swan remained remained there this evening.
