I was helping Jim Egge with a bird walk with charter-school fifth-graders in Minneapolis on Tuesday morning 6/6 when a big "V" of swans passed high overhead, maybe 50 of them. Presumably they were Tundra Swans heading north, but that was unexpected so late in the season. Are there any such big flocks of the re-introduced Trumpeters? E-bird doesn't show any records of Tundra's in Minnesota after April, though Janssen (1987) gives a late/south date of May 29. Any similar observations or comments?
