Went looking for the Trumpeter Swans reported by Vicki Biltz yesterday and
found them around 1:30 off Riverside Drive at the end of 88th Street
southeast of Sumner. By my count there were ~45 on the ground, and just as
we were leaving another eight flew over. The swans were in a field to the
southeast of the blacktop end. I'm unsure of property lines in the location,
so I stayed on the road where they were easily observed. I will try to post
photos later this evening.

are
to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and
servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
