Olor columbianus (180). Whistling Swan. 
Common winter resident on the broad waters of tidewater 
Maryland, and during spring and fall flights liable to be seen 
anywhere in the state. On September 26 (’93), one was shot on 
the Potomac near Weverton, by John Leopold. On November 
4 (’93, Fisher), several bunches were at the same place, while 
on April 15, 16 and 17, (’83), two were on the reservoir at 
Hagerstown (Small).

place, where I am told they at times appear in greater numbers.

Casual on the Atlantic coast. “In Turnbull’s list (Birds

sportsmen who have shot it on the Chesapeake Bay” (Birds N.
