[Ontbirds]Trumpeter Swan in Thorold

[Jean and Bob]

Hi All,

On a phone tip from Kayo Roy, my wife, father-in-law and I observed an 
immature Trumpeter Swan (no tags) with an adult Mute Swan, on Lake Gibson in 
Thorold.  It was observed earlier this evening (4/16) at 6:45 PM on the 
lake, south of Beaverdams Rd.

We also observed our first female Red-winged Blackbird and Barn Swallow of 
2008 and 2 pairs of American Wigeons.
