Trumpeter Swans are among the world's largest flying waterfowl. They can weight up to 25 pounds and have a wingspan of nearly seven feet!

Both swan species look similar to each other, but their voices are distinct!More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.
