I saw the swan at the Country Club of Gwinnett late yesterday (5:30 pm). Unfortunately, I don't at the moment have a scope, but hope to obtain one before the bird leaves the area. He's really magnificent!!

Greetings All.

I've been seeing what I believe to be an immature Tundra Swan on the lake at Briscoe Park in Snellville, Gwinnett County. The bird was with a flock of Canada Geese for about five days and I last saw it on Wednesday, Jan 13. It reappeared today, Friday, Jan 15.

I took some photos with a 200mm telephoto and they are not the greatest, but I posted them on my Web site and several people agree that it appears to be a Tundra. The bird was difficult to photograph since it stays in the center of the lake and is difficult to get close to. The photos are at
