[TopOfUtah] Exotics at 20-20 ponds

[Connie McManus]

Ryan,
the mute swan seems to be a regular there.  I've seen him many times.  The
Tundra or Trumpeters (not known to me which) come and go.  I've wanted to
explore the fields around that pond to see if they aren't hiding out in some
of the  other springs in that area.   Also, the house on the corner has a
warm springs in their back yard and often I see the swans swimming in it.
It's all concealed by foliage and trees, but you can see them in there
sometimes.
