Hey all,


A single Tundra Swan flew in at Old Reid Park in Springfield, Ohio this morning shortly after 7am and remained during my visit. Shortly after it arrived, the resident Mute Swan took interest and chased it across the pond, eventually calming down at the south edge of the pond when the Tundra Swan turned around to face the Mute Swan. I'm not sure if it was a territorial dispute or something else, but it was certainly interesting to watch. Also present of interest were some Northern Shovelers, Gadwalls and Hooded Mergansers.
