Thursday, October 19, 2017 Tern Lake Trumpeter Swan Family Flies!

Seward, Alaska

More good news! I received a call from a birder who lives a mile south of Tern Lake. She saw the TRUMPETER SWAN family, including the cygnet, flying south just after 6 pm! She thought they were probably headed to Trail Lake where the water is still open.

No fishing line wrapped around the cygnet’s wings, no issues with flying, no concerns about entrapment in ice. Now that the cygnet can fly, hope is on the wing. Yay!!!

Happy Birding!
