October 2022 Program

“Tracking Trumpeter Swans”
Speaker: Dr. Laura Kerns from the Ohio Division of Wildlife
Date: Tuesday, October 4, 2022
Trumpeter Swans were reintroduced in Ohio in the mid-1990s, and although they are still state-listed, the population continues to increase and expand in the state. Ohio is currently participating in a multi-state project evaluating the movement ecology of the Interior Population of Trumpeter Swans and what factors determine migratory behaviors of the swans throughout the region. This talk will provide an update on the current status of Ohio’s trumpeter swan population and a preliminary report of 20 swans tracked in Ohio compared to other Trumpeter Swans in the Great Lakes region.
