Hello,
I caused confusion when I incorrectly mapped them from my Droid on Saturday.
I went in and correctly mapped them Sunday after Bill brought up the issue.
By using the computer, I could use satellite view and confirmed I
incorrectly mapped. The birds were seen by me on the 5th and 7th at the
location that is now known as Cox's Lake. Lesson learned the hard way. I
was emailing Bill offline regarding my error.
Sorry everyone.

Subject: [TN-Bird] Williamson Trumpeters and eBird
This is a follow-up to Bill Pulliam's following inquiry of July 8 concerning
locations of the Trumpeter Swan sightings in Williamson County, TN.
I haven't heard of a Trumpeter Swan sighting adjacent to the I-840/Arno Road
exit.
The several reports of two Trumpeter Swans on Lampkins Bridge Road, between
approximately June 19 and July 4, 2012, have been at coordinates 35.853588
x 86.728532. These sightings were reported to Chris Sloan and myself by the
landowner, who is an attorney colleague of Chris' and my cousin. This
included the attached swan picture of July 4, 2012 by the landowner, as I
reported to TN-Birds on July 7, 2012.
On July 5, 2012, I showed the attached swan picture to a nearby resident of
Lampkins Bridge Road. He advised me that he had seen these two large solid
white swans, with solid black bills, on a vinyl-lined pond a few times (very
near his home) in 2011. That pond is about 1/2 mile to the south of the
above pond at coordinates 35.850030 x 86.734413.
The Cox's Lake sightings, as viewed from west-bound I-840 (just east of the
Harpeth River), have been reported on TN-Birds by Chad Smith for July 6 and
7, and by Kristy Baker for July 8. Cox's Lake is slightly less than two
miles east of the Lampkins Bridge Road pond sightings of June-July, 2012.

There seems to be some disagreement over the exact location of these swans
in their eBird reports. I have received reports that maps them at this
lat/long:
35.830746, -86.73336
Which is a pond immediately before the Arno Road exit ramp on westbound 840.
I have another location plotted at Cox Pond, which is situated 2 miles
farther east, also just north of 840, east of the Harpeth River, between Cox
Road and the railroad tracks, at this lat/long:
35.846703,-86.703125
Clarification on where the birds have actually been sighted would be helpful
to me and to others who wish to find them. Perhaps they have been found at
both places?
Thanks,
Bill Pulliam
