Alabama The Whistling Swan is rare in winter and during migration in the 

 Tennessee Valley region of Alabama (Imhof 1976b). These swans winter almost 

 annually at Wheeler NWR, in Limestone and Morgan counties. At least 47 win- 

 tered there in 1978-79 (Hamilton 1979). Whistling Swans are casual elsewhere 

 in the state. Howell (1928) stated that swans, presumably this species, were 

 rare winter visitors in Mississippi Sound. We know of only three coastal re- 

 cords for which more detailed information is available.

Dates of occurrence within Alabama range from 25 October to 25 March 

 (Imhof 1976b). 



Mississippi Whistling Swans occur in Mississippi as rare and irregular 

 winter visitors. Burleigh (1944) mentioned no records from the coast and only 

 one of several recent sightings was coastal; according to Hamilton (1979), this 

 was the first record from the coast of Mississippi.
