    1. Reviewed by CalPhotos Staff    Jan 26, 2004

    Action: changed name from "Chen caerulescens" to "Cygnus sp. "

    Reviewer's comments:
         "Changed taxon in response to e-mail from Dennis Page, birdman_29@excite.com: They look to be Trumpeter Swans and since the picture was taken at Tule Lake, if it's the one in California, that would support them being 'trumpeters'.
