Science & NatureNatureEarly arrival by trumpeter swans at Clayton Early arrival by trumpeter swans at Clayton November 16, 2023 Yesterday we had five trumpeter swans on our beach, two adults and three juveniles. They spent hours eating weeds and resting. Last year it was tundra swans in December. Hope they are yearly visitors from now on.
