I have a friend that lives in Fulton NY, just north of Syracuse. She knows I am into birds so she sent me a an awesome picture of a family of swans (2 adults and 5 babies) down the road from her house. At first look I realized they weren't mute swans. I have never seen a Trumpeter swan, but looking in the book I am pretty sure they are Trumpeter Swans, with all black beak, and yellow wash on the adults necks. Have they been known to breed in NY?
