[Tweeters] Trumpeter Swan on Ebey Island

[Martha Jordan via Tweeters]

      We are trying to determine if the Trumpeter Swan currently in Ebey
Slough may be the same one as seen in the Fobes Road wetland earlier this
spring/late spring.  It is very possible for that bird to gone swimming or
walked a short distance into Ebey Slough proper at the northeast corner of
the wetland and into the slough.  Currently the swan is visible from the
bridge over the slough adjacent to US 2.  You must be on Ebey to really see
the swan.
     If anyone gets out there with a really great camera and long lens
please take some photos of of it. It is skittish so using your car as a
blind is the best idea.  I am looking for photos of the back, wings area in
particular.
    The swan seems to be doing well in that it is feeding and preening and
swimming.  Also if you have video capability, video it swimming directly
away from you. There may be an odd swim pattern to the right leg.
     Please contact me off line:  mj.cygnus at gmail.com
    Thanks.
