I have heard via Bob Kessler (who lives on Upper Lake and who first spotted the Trumepter Swans several years ago) that the Trumepter Swan which was shot last month has passed away under the care of the rehabber.
On an unrelated note, I received an e-mail recently about a "naturalist" training program which will take place at the Flanders Community Center in Flanders, NY (next to Riverhead). For anyone interested, here is the info: http://www.prlog.org/12068478-long-islands-east-end-to-benefit-from-quality-parks-master-naturalist-program.html -- - Luke www.birdsoflongisland.blogspot.com www.wildlongisland.blogspot.com -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
