The Missouri Department of Conservation encourages you to discover nature and learn more about trumpeter swans.
The largest waterfowl species in North America, trumpeters are big, beautiful, bright white birds with a black bill and a wingspan of nearly eight feet.
They get their name from the trumpet-like call they make.
Trumpeter swans were once fairly common in much of North America.
But habitat destruction and unregulated market hunting in the eighteen hundreds destroyed most flocks in the lower forty eight states.
Protections and restoration efforts have helped populations bounce back.
Trumpeter swans are protected by federal and state laws. Waterfowl hunters need to be careful. Shooting a protected trumpeter swan can cost thousands of dollars in fines.
Easily accessible water at city lakes or conservation areas such as eagle bluffs in Boone County help by providing winter havens for the trumpeters and places for wildlife watchers to enjoy them.
