[TN-Bird] Possible Cocke County Trumpeter Swan

25 MAR 03
Rankin Bottom WMA
Cocke County, TN
Rack Cross

This evening around 7PM I discovered and enjoyed the presence of what appears 
to be a TRUMPETER SWAN at Rankin Bottom WMA. The giant swan was towering over 
a couple dozen mixed Green-winged Teals and American Wigeon off of the 
graveled riverbed road (?) halfway between the gate at the roads end and a 
turn off that goes to the river. I was able to shot some video the swan and 
frames have been sent for conformation to area experts.
