Subject:       Trumpeter Swan Migration Update

December 18, 1997
               7:30am.

               Three female trumpter swans, Isabell, Yoyo
               and Sydney, took off from Auburn VA on the
               first leg of their maiden migration journey
               to the Eeastern Shore of Maryland.

               The swans were accompanied by two utralight
               aircraft piloted by Gavin Shire of
               Environmental Studies at Airlie and Joe Duff
               of Operation Migration.

               8:50am.

               The three swans and the two ultralights have
               crossed the Potomac river and have landed for
               a stop. According to Gavin Shire, the flight
               has progressed so well that it was decided to
               fly over the first possible stop and continue
               on to the second landing site across the
               river. The flight will resume this afternoon, 
        and we are hoping to make it to the farm tomorrow.
