Trumpeter Swan Alert!!!

Here's some information from Jim Edlhuber alerting club members about the arrival of a group of Trumpeter Swans:

Here is a great opportunity for club members to go out and photograph Trumpeter Swans here in Mukwonago. There have been a half dozen here for a couple of weeks and if you are quiet they have been close to shore. I would recommend 8-9 am for good light. The location is Phantom Glen Park at the end of Andrews Street on the east end of Lower Phantom Lake. I can put a map location on this email. Also a link to images I just took this morning 2-22-2012. If you want to put this on the Retzer Blog please do. You decide. You never know if they will hang around but the swans have been there for a while.
