The Trumpeter Swan

Here is a quick video with some information about the Trumpeter Swan.

I never realized what a magnificent, majestic animal the Trumpeter Swan is. I have been looking up information on this swan and I have found some interesting and informative links that you may want to check out as a family. (Remember to be safe when you are online - Make sure you get mom and dad's permission. Better yet, learn together by searching together!)

Did you know the Trumpeter Swan can stand at a height of up to 4 feet and their wingspan can be more than 7 feet? A full grown Trumpeter Swan can weigh up to 30 pounds! This makes the Trumpeter Swan the largest native waterfowl in North America!
