Hi- I live on the kooteni river in troy mt about 25 mi s of canada and about 11 mi east of idaho. there was a trumpeter swan in front of my house on the river for about an hour today. I would say about 2-3 yr. Very quiet- just sitting there. We have a few gaggles east in some of the lakes but this is the first trumpeter I have seen in 7 yr here. I was looking to see if shes banded but she stood with most of her legs in water until a big motor boat came up river then she flew off. I had my spotting scope on her all the way past my beach but couldn't see.
