On January 2nd, an adult Tundra Swan was photographed in the wetlands at the
Nature Conservancy's Independence Creek Preserve in Terrell County. To our
knowledge, it is the first swan record for the preserve and perhaps for the
county. Anyway, while access to the preserve is limited right now, I did want
to make folks aware of the sighting so that others can be on the look out for
swans perhaps showing up in other odd locations.
The birding on the preserve can be pretty fantastic and we encourage the public
to take advantage of our open days and weekends, which are as follows for 2013:
March 2, April 12-14, June 8, August 10, September 6-8. More info can be found
