Actually Jefferson County is well birder by North Country Standards Compared to 
Lewis or St Lawrence areas outside of the Blue Line Jefferson has a fair number 
of Active birders Perch River was the first place in the State where Trumpeter 
Swans became established Expanding from the reintroduction project in Ontario 
they were nesting there by the mid 1990s thus have been well established here 
for two decades good birding

On the way back from a NYSOA field trip in Long Lake, Robert Buckert (young
birder) and I stopped by what appears to be an under birded county-
Jefferson, except for a few individuals.   We saw a number of species,
probably the most exciting for me were Trumpeter Swans at Perch River.  I
believe these might be residents but nonetheless fun to watch

Re:[nysbirds-l] nysbirds-l digest: February 13, 2018

[Lynn Bergmeyer]

On the way back from a NYSOA field trip in Long Lake, Robert Buckert (young
birder) and I stopped by what appears to be an under birded county-
Jefferson, except for a few individuals.   We saw a number of species,
