Sitka/Birds: Tundra Swan

Sitka Summary: Apparently Rare or Very Rare, as there are few recent reports, though formerly it may have been more abundant based on more frequent reports. This species may be underreported due to similarity to Trumpeter Swans and an assumption that migrating flocks in flight are Trumpeter Swans (which are known to winter in the area).

Phil Mooney reported that they, as well as Trumpeter Swans, are not infrequently found wintering in the the area, though there are few sightings from the road system.
