Angus, Ken, and all, Interestingly, Dick Ferren had two Whistling Swans fly past his seawatch at Block Island's Southeast Light yesterday, during the middle of the day (not far around the corner from the Beach Head). There must be at least six birds involved.

Ken, Interestingly, there were four TUNDRA SWANS off Block Island on the 13th. According to the Rhode Island RBA, they were seen just off the beach in front of the Beach Head Restraunt. I wonder if these are the same birds traveling down the coast? That's about 113 miles as the swan flies, quite manageable in a day.
