We at The Trumpeter Swan Society are monitoring winter distribution of 
Trumpeter Swans in states on or below the 40th parallel. This is year one 
of the project. If you have Trumpeter Swan sightings from this winter, or 
past winters they are of value to us. We will be going back through the 
archives, but we know that not all sightings get posted, or we may miss 
posts. Please consider registering for Trumpeter Watch, this Citizen 
Science project. We have summary forms for your sightings on our website 
at www.trumpeterswansociety.org - go to the Citizen Science section at the 
lower edge of the home page. You can also email details to me directly, 
noting location (GIS coordinates are great, if you do not have these then 
a description with reference to closest town, lake, park, etc. and the 
County. This year Trumpeter Swans are literally all over the map, with 
sightings this week in Virginia, Tennessee and Louisiana, among others. 
They are using ten different areas in Oklahoma. It is really an exciting 
time. We have resources on our website for the Trumpeter Watch program: a 
detailed ID section, a key to colors and alphanumeric codes used for 
marked birds of the Interior population and registration forms. We keep 
you posted through a monthly newsletter. We are a non-profit organization 
working to assure the vitality and welfare of wild Trumpeter Swans. You 
can find us on the web, on our Blog, or on Facebook. Thank you! Peg 
Abbott, Outreach Coordinator.
