Tony King just called me. He and Denise relocated the Tundra Swans in Loudon County around 11:30 this morning. He says they are about 100 yards off the road in the middle of a green field. Driving on 411 from Lenoir City toward Maryville they are on the right hand side of the road some distance after passing the turnoff for Route 72. If I am remembering correctly what he told me, after passing 72 there are homes and then fields. The field where he and Denise saw the swans is opposite a commercial building with a big BNP sign on it.
