Hi All,

I had to head to Frostburg today for work, and actually managed to get
to Rocky Gap after sunrise (I usually drive by it pre-dawn) so I
stopped to check and see what was around.  A quick scan revealed 2
GADWALL, 3 RED-NECKED GREBES, and one funky looking swan that pretty
much looks like a Trumpeter Swan, but shows some inconsistencies in
the bill shape, and though v-shaped, the crown seems a bit off.
Photos of the bird will soon be available at:

Good Birding!
