I heard from Rimmer Devries, of Camano, that the Whooper was seen today by
several people mid-day. It was found in the flock of swans about 2 fields
north of Milltown Rd., so a very similar location to the last two days. I
searched that flock twice, once around 10:30 and once at about 2:00. Rimmer
said it was keeping its head down most of the time...
