One young Tundra Swan walking and paddling among assorted Canada geese,  
Mallards and Herring Gulls, at 7pm this evening, on the receding overflow of 
Fall Creek along Herman Rd, just S of 38, E side of the road.  It was the only 
swan there.  I am assuming no one has a pet or hand reared one nearby. 

It was nicely white on the back but still cloudy, patchy grey up the neck and 
head.  No sign of yellow near the eye and a very faint pinkish hue still, 
centrally on the upper bill.

 There have been a lot of waterfowl on the flooded creek near Freeville, 
including a Redhead on Saturday Apr 4.  For a variety of reasons, I don't have 
an accurate list of other species on that day.
