Relocating young trumpeter swans from Alaska and Wyoming to boost populations in Oregon.
The state of Oregon offers free food and lodging to relocate to Summer Lake, as long as you’re a trumpeter swan. Biologists have learned that transplanting swans works best when they are young. Cygnets imprint on the land where they learn to fly and are much more likely to return to the spot in the future.
