Three Rivers Park District is coordinating a Trumpeter Swan survey this month in Hennepin, Anoka, Washington, Ramsey and Dakota Counties in conjunction with the Minnesota DNR Nongame Wildlife Program and The Trumpeter Swan Society. The public is requested to email or phone in swan observations beginning May 11th. Please include the date, location (name if available) of the wetland and the number of swans observed. Trumpeter Swans in Minnesota generally nest during May and June and will remain on their home wetland until early fall when the young (cygnets) gain flight. This survey is part of the 2015 North American Trumpeter Swan Survey, an official survey of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service that counts Trumpeter Swans every 5 years.
