Trumpeter Swans have started arriving in Cleburne County. I heard a report that they started arriving Tuesday 11/11. Friday 11/14, I drove up and I got a count of 19 Trumpeter Swans between the two Hirem Road Ponds. Gates are now open so folks can come visit and see the swans.
No swans were present Friday at Magness Lake, nor at the Clay Road Pond East of Pangburn (White County)
More should be following, we normally peak out close to 150-200 swans in Arkansas before they start their migration back North around February.
Kenny Nations, Terry Butler, and the family of Verlon Abrams upkeep the two ponds off Hirem Road. They have added a new bench at each pond (last year they added a picnic table to each pond). They stock clean dry corn in feeders at the two Hirem Road Ponds for the public to feed the swans with. They have a cash donation box if you want to contribute to feeding the swans.
