Tundra swans

[Rachael Ray]

This time last year there were already Tundra Swans on Tar Bay, but we haven't seen any yet this year. Has anyone spotted them elsewhere?

I've had flyovers at several spots since early November, and others have reported them as well. Last week, there were a couple hundred TUSW visible from Perryville Community Park, at the head of the bay in Cecil County, and many more could be heard from farther south in the bay - probably off of the southern part of Cecil and northern Kent, near the mouth of the Sassafras River.

Update: A pair are swimming off the end of our yard for the first time this season, spotted this morning. Tar Bay/ Swan Harbor.

And, the rest of them are here now, too!
