I've got my eye on you

Trumpeter Swan ~ Creek Road - Chadds Ford, PA

The following info is from a PA Birders writeup regarding this particular swan: http://birding.aba.org/message.php?mesid=608699&MLID=&MLNM=Delaware
"The yellow wing tag with the black lettering designation of "K46" indicates that this swan is part of the reintroduction research program based in the province of Ontario.
I have submitted the documentation of this swan to the USGS Bird Banding Laboratory and will share the report on this particular bird's history." (derek AT delawarenaturesociety.org)
