There are pockets of open water due to power plants, etc. We know of at least 110 Trumpeters now wintering in Arkansas and a few other swans in more southerly locations. If anyone spots Trumpeters in their winter birding travels throughout Minnesota or to our south, we would appreciate hearing about them. We are interested to hear about numbers on the Otter Tail River. There are, as in past years, many swans up and down the Mississippi River between Monticello and Elk River. Thank you for any reports.
