0004 On Golden Pond
Yellowstone National Park, WY
The stately Trumpeter Swan, dressed in snowy white plumage and sporting a coal-black bill, was once common in much of the West. Then came hunting, mainly for their feathers, which were used to adorn the hats and gowns of fashionable ladies of the day. As a result, by the early 1900s, the Trumpeter had been hunted nearly to extinction. Research conducted in 1932, revealed that the Centennial Valley of southwestern Montana hosted the only population know to exist anywhere in the world. Sixty-eight swans remained. Several decades later, the discovery of a previously unknown population in Alaska and western Canada shook the world. As a result of this new finding, current estimates place Trumpeter numbers close to 15,000, of which approximately 14,500 birds reside in Alaska and Canada.
