My apologies if this has already been posted.

There is Trumpeter Swan nest that is easily viewed on the smaller
(eastern) island in the largest impoundment of Medusa Marsh.  Neither adult  has
that familiar field mark - a neck collar - so it is likely that people may  see
them and dismiss them as the Mute Swans that normally nested here.

Saturday, our Firelands Audubon bird class watched as the male chased
several Canada Geese from the area.  Seeing him in the air chasing a goose
gives you a good appreciation for his size.

Medusa Marsh is the stretch of road (Barrett Rd) in Erie County  between
Sandusky and Bayview.   If you are heading down  Route 2, to the north between
the Rt 6/Fremont and the Rt 269  exits.  More information on Medusa Marsh
and other birding opportunities in  the area can be found in the site guide
at ohiobirds.org.
