Lake Co, Tn.
Phillippy Pits on Cates landing road off Hwy 78.
Was notified yesterday that there are three swans up at Phillippy Pits area.  I 
drove over yesterday in the late afternoon and found them and they were way off 
to the back of the field near the old duck blind  near the tree line.....took a 
very distant shot but not very useful.  Today I went back and they were closer 
and I had good looks through the scope...I feel that they are Immature 
Trumpeters...The front of the head and bill slopes down.  The black on the face 
forms a V between the eyes , the tail is low and they are a big bird.  The Bill 
and feet are black.  The color on the body of the bird is a moddled yellowish 
brown and grayish white. Head is dark brownish gray and chin is light color and 
back of neck is a light brownish color.  I do have pictures and will share if 
anyone wants to see them.
