*** About Trumpeter Swan: The Trumpeter Swan is the largest native swan in North America, with a wingspan that can exceed 10 feet. Known for its powerful, resonating call, the trumpeter swan once faced near-extinction due to hunting and habitat loss in the early 20th century. Conservation efforts have since helped stabilize and increase their populations, although they remain on the watch list. Depicted frequently in art and culture, trumpeter swans symbolize purity, beauty, and the importance of ecological conservation.
