Hello everyone,

Today while riding the bus through campus (Ohio State), I noticed two swans floating on the Olentangy River, just south of the Woody Hayes bridge.  I jumped off at the next stop and managed to get decent looks and photographs at a pair of Trumpeter Swans.  Mute Swans are pretty easily found in a few of the Metro Parks in central Ohio, and I half-expected these two birds to be that species.  The field marks to distinguish from Tundra Swan are included in my eBird checklist (below), and this would also be very late in the year for Tundra Swans in Franklin county.

Good birding,
Alex Hughes
