Swans Return To Area Lake

For the third consecutive year, a small group of trumpeter swans have made their way back to spend some of the winter months on Bear Lake just west of Bonner Springs. Along with them is a bird not so common to this part of the world.

Some of the trumpeter swans wear identification collars from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. Kansas ranks third after Iowa and Missouri for sightings of trumpeter swans.
