At least one trumpeter swan is taking advantage of the open water on Presque Isle Bay, hanging out in loose relation to the mute swans that occupy the head of the bay.

Trumpeter swans were nearly extinct a century ago, but they’re now realtively common – just not around Erie. They do show up frequently on the western Great Lakes during summer.

Tundra swans also can be found farther east on the bay; they were near Perry Monument Sunday.
