I've enjoyed observing the Trumpeter Swan in Bristol twice now. Each time the bird has foraged some in a field offering great views. I'm asking a question. Do any of the re-introduction programs for the Trumpeter Swan include supplemental feeding? I am NOT advocating taking feed out to this bird. I am just curious. It's a very big bird, so is it finding all it needs to eat at its present location? I am certain there are people on this list who can address this question better than I can.
