We have a pair of Trumpeters at Quigley Lake that I have observed copulating. The lake looks like prime habitat for raising a swan brood. And, they have been here for about a week. Canada Geese, Wood Duck, Mallard, and Hooded Mergansers are all hanging around and I expect them to stay. I went for a walk at Whitetail Woods (Dakota) County Park in part to scout for the crane count next weekend. I did find a pair of cranes as well as pairs of all the mentioned waterfowl, as well as N. Shovelers. The park was flush with singing robins, redwings, and song sparrows.
