This afternoon I found a pair of black-billed swans on Artist Lake in Middle Island. The birds kept to a small area of open water towards the south end of the lake. Although distant, they appeared to be Trumpeters- probably the same birds that have been frequenting Upper Lake in Yaphank,

One last point copied from the Kingbird ariticle where my reference to records of birds from the Ontario program: The first reports of Trumpeter Swans (Cygnus buccinator) in NYS were of wing-tagged birds at Dunkirk Harbor, Chautauqua Co., in the fall of 1988. Since that time sightings have

I would like to thank Willie D'Anna (infinitely more qualified than I) for clearing up some of my impressions on the status of Trumpeter Swans. Still, having reviewed the information, I feel NYSARC should add Trumpeter Swan to the New York State list. This probably won't happen any time soon,

Black Vulture (Braddock Bay) and Snowy Owl (Somerset)This morning I found 2 black-billed swans on Upper Lake in Yaphank, Suffolk County. This is the same location that hosted a pair of Trumpeters last February, and although I only had distant views, I'm pretty sure that these were Trumpeters-
