Hey All,

I got to go out for a walk yesterday and found a family of breeding 
Trumpeter Swans.  There were two adults and 4 young.  At first I thought 
this was extremely rare and amazing but have since found out that they 
aren't completely uncommon here in Ohio.  This though was not in the 
western Lake Erie basin.  I have sent an email to OOS to find out if 
posting there location would be advisable because I know they are still 
rare and protected I think.  If someone here on the listserve can shed some 
light on whether I should share there location with others I'd love to hear 
from you.  I do not want to do anything that might be harmful to the 
birds.  I am sorry if my vagueness annoys anyone it is not my intent.  I 
will post a photo on rarebird of the family in the northeast Ohio forum for 
anyone interested.

Take Care All,

Matt Vosniak
