[TN-Bird] swans on Clinch River


A co-worker reported seeing two free-flying swans while fishing
Saturday and Sunday on the Clinch River downstream from the 
Peach Orchard put-in near Clinton in Anderson Co., TN.  The
swans were very wary and flew off when spooked by boats.  Sam
said a kayak got with 300 yards of them on Saturday and they 
took off not to be seen again until Sunday.  He wasn't able 
to tell the bill color but said they were huge, about twice 
the wingspan of a Canada Goose.

Could be Mutes but worth looking into.
