Description
Trumpeter swans (Cygnus buccinator), the largest native North American waterfowl, were almost extinct a century ago. After years of intensive conservation and habitat protection, their numbers are increasing; however, they remain threatened by habitat loss, lead poisoning, and illegal shooting. They breed in northern Alaska and migrate south to wintering grounds in the central United States. I photographed these two at Loess Bluffs Wildlife Refuge in northwestern Missouri.
