The trumpeter swan’s historic breeding range extended in a wide band from the Bering Sea east through most of Canada and south to Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. Presently, trumpeters breed in Alaska, the Yukon, British Columbia, Alberta, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Saskatchewan and Ontario. Alaska accounts for over 85 percent of the world’s breeding population, and breeding areas outside of Alaska are very localized. Trumpeter swans construct nests over water (1-3 feet) in extensive beds of marsh vegetation, on small islands or on muskrat and beaver lodges, and lay an average of 5 eggs.
