Hi all,

I just visited Turnbull NWR near Cheney this morning. I was happy to see 10 Trumpeter Swans present. Three adults flew in initially, and then 7 more flew in. The group of 7 had 2 adults and 5 gray-ish juveniles. I assume the two adults in the group of 7 were Solo and his mate. The other 3 seemed a bit smaller in size so most likely last year's brood. If you are in the area before freeze-up, then check them out!
