Abstract
We document the first breeding records of Whooper Swan (Cygnus cygnus) and Brambling (Fringilla montifringilla) in Alaska and North America on Attu Island in the Western Aleutians in the spring of 1996. Five cy gnets were seen with adults and the nest located, and a territorial pa ir of Bramblings was observed and a nest with eggs found.
