Wildlife Photo of w1310 ~ Trumpeter Swans on Spring Ice

Trumpeter swans (Cygnus buccinator) are the world's largest waterfowl. Their wingspan can reach nearly eight feet! Michigan trumpeter swans normally do not breed until their fourth year, and then form strong pair bonds that can last for many years. While still somewhat rare throughout the Great Lakes region, trumpeter swans are making a comeback in places like Barry County in Southwest Michigan. This pair of courting trumpeters was photographed in March 2007 near Barry State Game Area.
