Area Birders,
My wife, Lynda, and I made it down to Bristol yesterday and got great views
of the Trumpeter Swan at the park on highway 394. Our thanks to Bill Grigsby
for his directions.
Just as it was when Bill was there the swan was at the small pond just to
the right after entering the park. It was sitting with its head down,
resting. We drove right by it without seeing it. We then ran into the
Newmans and their guests at the larger pond, and they directed us back to
the swan. When a vehicle would drive by the swan would raise its head and
look around. It finally got up and began feeding in the pond. The wind was
cutting and the temperature was 23 F. When we left about 3:30 the Trumpeter
was still feeding, but according to Kevin Hamed, who dropped by, it usually
flies back to the larger pond around 4:00. This bird was definitely worth
the trip down.
Enjoy the birds,
Roger Mayhorn
