From Nick Vander Puy;
"Trumpeter swans are some of North America’s most elegant waterbirds. The birds are all white with long flowing necks, they stand up to four feet tall with a large wingspan. The birds pledge as mates for life and are devoted parents. Signs at the lakes warn about shooting these protected birds, but in late September a bird showed up dead on Seven Mile lake near Eagle River with two .22 caliber slugs in it’s carcass. The DNR is investigating. Sandy Gillum is a local biologist who cares for the birds. She talks with Nick Vander Puy from the Superior Broadcast Network about the dead swan."
