Thanks for the details, Bob. It is likely these birds are moving around in the area; Kristy Baker saw them in flight a few days ago. Anyone who misses them on Cox Pond would do well to check the Lampkins Bridge site as well as any other ponds in the vicinity.

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.
