 Lorain county where many were killed by hunters. It is a 

 rare migrant in the state, seldom being seen in its passage 

 unless stopped by stormy weather. Migration records are 

 wanting.

The Trumpeter Swan is even less numerous than the 

 Whistling, but passes across the state in its migrations. It 

 has been taken on Lake Erie several times within the past 

 ten years. Very little seems to be known of it as an Ohio 

 bird. This swan may remain in the state during the winter.
