Tundra Swan Sightings

By Joshua York | Friday, January 22, 2010, 04:27 PM

Three Trumpeter Swans (Cygnus buccinator) were seen over a number of days at Huffman MetroPark. Other sightings have also been recorded at the following website: http://www.dayton.net/audubon/rba011410.htm as the site indicates, this is the first record for this area. The three swans found in Ohio are the Trumpeter Swan, Tundra Swan, and the non-native Mute Swan.
