The Trumpeter Swan, which earlier this month migrated to Bristol in Sullivan
Co., TN from Ontario, has been rediscovered near Blountville, Sullivan Co.
The new location is   6.42 miles west of the pond where it had originally
been found on Jan. 1.

Today at 3:30 p.m. I went to the new location, a private residential pond
just off Tenn. Rt. 75, and saw the bird, checked its wing tag number as No.
612.  The pond is at 36=B0 30' 29"N, 82=B0 14' 16"W.  Another pond is nearby
where the bird is also believed to have visited.

The bird arrived at the new location Saturday, Jan. 25, and it was reported
to Pete Wyatt, of the Region IV office of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources
Agency. =20

The brid was found on Jan. 1, 2003 at Whitetop Creek Park (multi-sports
complex) by Rick Knight and was last seen on Jan. 12, according to  Kevin
Hamed with the Steele Creek Park Nature Center.

The pond at White Top Creek Park is frozen.  The stream-fed pond where it
has been for the past several days stays open and has an abundance of
aquatic plants. =20
