Trumpeter swan transporting young in flight?
By:Reta
Date: 8 July 2014

We have a pair of trumpeter swans that brought a 3 day old cygnet from a lake 2 miles away to ours . We did not see them carrying the cygnet in flight, but that is the only way they could have gotten it over to our lake. Could they carry the young in flight, and how?
