Some additional thoughts. Trumpeter Swan is apparently in a class all it's own. If you look in the most recent "Birds Of Ohio Checklist" by the Ohio Division Of Wildlife (March 2012), and "The Ohio Records Committee Annotated Checklist Of Birds Of Ohio" (October 2008), it appears that Trumpeter Swan is the only bird specie listed in these two publications, other than extirpated or extinct species, that is not countable in Ohio.
