Yesterday afternoon, I saw two very large, straight-necked swans gliding on a body of water in a valley that often turns into a temporary lake in Pittsford. I got a good look at them through binoculars and, having seen many tundra swans in my lifetime, I think they must have been trumpeters because they were definitely bigger than tundras. Is that possible? Has anyone in this community ever seen trumpeter swans in VT? The map for them on Cornell Lab of Ornithology site does not include VT.
