Someone that saw the Tundra Swan at Anahuac asked for help with Swan
Identification.
A good place to learn about swan ID is on the TTSS website:
www.trumpterswansociety.org. Click on Swan Identification. There are good
photos
and text about both Trumpeter Swan and Tundra Swan including juveniles.
Also,
you can download the "Swan and Goose Identification Brochure".
This is the recommendation I recieved yesterday from Martha Jordan, an
expert in Trumpeter Swan and Tundra Swan identification and who works on
swan issues in the state of Washington.
The Trumpeter Swan Society is continuing their winter monitoring of
Trumpeter Swan and they are partnering with ebirds. But they are also
interested in the winter migration of Tundra Swan. They are interested in
such details as swan numbers, arrival and departure dates, locations, and
key charateristics of the habitats they use. If you wish to provide more
details than you did on ebirds, you might email
trumpeterwatch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with those observations.
So far this winter Tundra Swan have been reported to texbirds at 4 sites:
Hagerman NWR, Anahuac NWR, Kerrville, and Nature Conservancy's Independence
Creek Preserve in Terrell County. ebirds has reports and photo of one
Tundra Swan for Hagerman NWR and 10 reports of one or two Tundra Swan at
Anahuac NWR.
