During that period, which usually begins in July and continues into August, the adult swans can’t fly.That makes the birds easier to catch, and Wolfson and Drake have captured and collared trumpeter swans from nearly every region of Minnesota.Ideally, they target breeding pairs with cygnets, Wolfson said.“Typically, at least one adult is in molt during this time of year, so we'll approach the pair,” he said.

Fish and Wildlife Service, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the Twin Cities-based Three Rivers Park District and the Trumpeter Swan Society.In the very simplest of terms, the study aims to build on the knowledge of the so-called “Interior Population” of trumpeter swans, which includes Minnesota birds, and their remarkable story of recovery from the brink of extinction. “That can help you make management decisions and understand how to conserve animal species.”The study also is looking at lead concentrations in every collared swan to gauge the effects of lead exposure, Wolfson said, along with evaluating the genetics of the Interior Population, which was restored by a multitude of reintroduction efforts across the Midwest.Coupled with similar studies underway in Michigan, Ohio, Iowa, Wisconsin and Manitoba, researchers will be able to track about 100 swans fitted with the GPS collars, Wolfson said.“We're catching swans across basically almost the entire breeding range of the Interior Population, and so we’ll be able to have a much more representative idea of what’s going on across the population,” he said.The collars, which cost about $1,200 each, capture data points every 15 minutes and download the information to a cell tower either daily or whenever cell service is available.“Connections can be sparse, but (the collar) can store a lot of information onboard the unit and then transmit the batch once the collar is within reception of a cell tower,” Wolfson said.Eventually, findings from the study will form the basis for Wolfson’s doctoral thesis.According to the Minnesota DNR, trumpeter swans historically flourished across North America from Illinois northwest to Alaska.

By the 1880s, trumpeter swans had disappeared from Minnesota, and by the 1930s, only 69 trumpeter swans remained in the lower 48 states, the DNR said, living in the remote Red Rock Lakes wildlife refuge of southwestern Montana.“People thought those were the last ones left, and then years later, they found a wild population in Alaska that was pretty sizable,” Wolfson said.Minnesota's efforts to reintroduce trumpeter swans began in the 1960s, when what today is known as the Three Rivers Park District got 40 swans from the fledgling Montana population. On the Feb. 11 episode of "The Late Late Show With James Corden," On Feb. 11, Queen Elizabeth II's eldest grandson, Peter Phillips, and his wife, Autumn Kelly, released a statement announcing that they've "jointly agreed to separate" after more than a decade of marriage. The pair captured 40 trumpeter swans this summer and fitted them with GPS tracking collars as part of a four-year study.

ROSEAU RIVER WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA, Minn. – David Wolfson and Tori Drake were on the home stretch of a summerlong research project, and they’d budgeted one day to catch a trumpeter swan and fit it with a GPS tracking collar in this massive WMA that tickles the Manitoba border in northwest Minnesota.If they failed to catch a swan, they’d move on to a different part of northern Minnesota.There were trumpeters in the area – they'd spotted 17 swans, about half adults and half cygnets, as juvenile birds are called, the previous evening – but catching one of the majestic birds in its home habitat isn’t always easy.
