Wisconsin Northern Woods Birding Trail Members

About the Masthead Photo: These young Trumpeter Swans at Crex Meadows are among the most endangered of waterfowl, but due to reintroduction efforts throughout the U.S., including Ottawa NWR in Ohio, these birds are now recovering throughout their range.

In 2002, a total of 52 nesting pairs occurred in 14 Wisconsin counties, including 32 nests in Burnett and Polk counties. Wisconsin's resident Turmpeter flock now numbers more than 300 birds.
