Trumpeter Swan
The Trumpeter Swan is a large waterfowl native to North America, known for its striking white plumage and long neck. It is the heaviest swan species, with adults weighing between 20 to 30 pounds. These swans are often found in lakes, rivers, and wetlands, where they feed on aquatic plants and small invertebrates.
Trumpeter Swans are recognized for their loud, trumpeting calls, which can be heard over long distances. They are social birds, often seen in pairs or small groups. Conservation efforts have helped their populations recover after being threatened by habitat loss and hunting in the past.
