Tweeters and Whatcom Birders,

Trumpeter Swans are arriving in the Fraser Delta as well, although
most of them do not seem to be here yet. My sightings so far this fall
have been:

October 29-- 2 at Brunswick Point, S of Westham I. (my first of the
fall)

October 30-- 4 at the Reifel Bird Sanctuary, Delta

November 2-- 12 (10 ad., 2 imm.) in a field near Highway 10 and 112th
Street in Delta (near where a flock of 100 or so spent most of last
winter). Later in the day, 15 were seen on the Boundary Bay shoreline
from the foot of 104th Street.

November 3-- Total of 23 seen from the Roberts Bank dyke at the foot
of 34th Street in Delta (just N of the coal port jetty and south of
Brunswick Point)-- 11 on the water, and another flock of 12 flying
southward overhead.

Good luck and good birding!
