[TN-Bird] Re: Tundra Swans - Greenback Area - Loudon County, TN 1/25/09

That sounds like the same birds. Thanks for the update Carole

Can anyone comment on how ususal or unusual it is to have Tundra Swans in our 
part of  Tennessee? I did a search of the Tn Bird archieves and only found one 
reference to a sighting, I believe it was on Fort Loudon Lake in 2003.

Thanks All,

Bob Howdeshell
