Local Notes
- Glacier Bay/Trumpeter Swan: Trumpeter Swans have been overwintering in increasing numbers recently. (edit)
- Haines/Trumpeter Swan: (edit)
- Juneau/Trumpeter Swan: (edit)
- Ketchikan/Trumpeter Swan: (edit)
- Sitka/Trumpeter Swan: Uncommon Spring and Fall migrant. Formerly Rare Winter resident, now Uncommon or possibly Fairly Common Winter residents. Most likely to be found on the road system at Starrigavan, Swan Lake, or Herring Cove. Based on past reports, it appears that Trumpeter Swans are being seen more frequently and in greater numbers throughout the winter. In recent years, birds have been reported in winter months at Swan Lake, Thimbleberry Lake, Baranof Warm Springs, Fish Bay, Silver Bay, and Starrigavan Bay. Some wintering swans seem to stay in a single location, while others move between salt water and freshwater or split their time between more than one bay. (edit)
