Subject: [Tweeters] 32 Trumpeter Swans, in Sumner @ 2 PM

I was heading to Sumner with a friend visiting from Seattle when we both
noticed a flock of large birds flying in v-formation in the distance.
Judging from the rate of their wing beats and the direction they were
flying (SE over Sumner), they could have been the same swansVicki saw.
