Tweeters,
In addition to the "Bewick's" race Tundra Swan on the Skagit flats,
at least 3 others Bewick's have been reported in the last few days in
the Pacific Northwest. It seems to be a good winter for them.
(1) One seen from at least late January through Feb. 26 in Delta, BC
with a flock of Tundra and Trumpeter Swans on 68th Street just north
of 60th Avenue. I had a good look at this bird yesterday.
(2) One seen several times in the last month and photographed
near Chilliwack, BC.
(3) One reported yesterday by David Irons from the Lower Klamath
NWR on the Oregon/California border (via the OBOL group).
