<P>I would guess that this may be the first record of breeding trumpeter swans in this part of the state.&nbsp; I saw this morning an adult TRSW with at least 3 cygnets near Freeport, MN.&nbsp; They were on a WPA approx. 1 mi. North of Stearns CR 17 on Stearns CR 36.&nbsp; It is a fair sized pond (20 acres?) on the West side of the road.&nbsp; The birds were on the North end of the pond in or near the cattails.<BR><BR></P></DIV></div></html>
