| Whooper Swan | 1995 | Jan-Mar | Lancaster | First reported along Mount Eden Rd at Octoraro L. 1/20, many people saw this bird through 1/23. Thereafter, it became quite irregular although reports kept coming in through the end of the period. Toward the end of Mar., a second bird had reportedly joined the first. Although the first bird behaved as a wild bird, some doubts remain about its origin. Consequently, PORC will have to determine whether or not this bird will be a new addition to PA's avifauna |
