NSWF #7 -Trumpeter Swan Traditional Cache

The Nicomen Slough Water Fowl series is inspired by my dad who has been privileged to live and work alongside the Nicomen Slough and enjoys the rich variety of birds every day.  These eight geocaches represent a few of the varieties of waterfowl that make the slough their home (at least for a part of each year).  See if you can spot the eight different birds as you hunt for the caches --there is a photo to help you identify them on the underside of the cache lid.  Have fun and happy hunting ("geocache" hunting that is)   :)

NSWF #7 -Trumpeter Swan

The Trumpeter Swan is the heaviest living bird in North America.  Most swans mate for life.  Pair bonds are formed when the swans are 4 to 7 years old, although some do not form until they are nearly twenty years old.
