st swans to be reintroduced suet mwmmsimm xjmr the trumpeter swan may be seen in local ponds from page 1 said lumsden to try and get them to the point where we can take them off the vulnerable list while there are some swans in western cana da lumsden said they are by no means secure in the east the last record of a trumpeter swan was in 1886 in 1992 the mnr and the canadian wildlife service joined forces to restore the trumpeter to ontario and control the spread of mute swans native to europe and asia the two programs were to be integrated with the objective of placing trumpeter eggs under adult mutes and ensuring that no mute eggs hatched eggs for the program were collected from the wild population breeding in the grand prairie region of alberta building a population of trumpeters in ontario has been difficult until 1990 only 14 eggs per year were available for use in restora tion at present 100 eggs per year are available and 30 twoyear old birds can be released which brings us to cooperators a cooperator is someone with a pond who is willing to allow a breeding pair to take up residence current ly 19 breeding pairs are being looked after by cooperators and lumsden has nine more pairs to place the right individuals will have a pond preferably springfed which they are willing to fence in an aerator is also necessary to ensure a healthy supply of oxygen in the pond and then for about 50 dollars per year to feed the birds you can enjoy the beauty of these splen did creatures on your own property asked if the birds might become dependent on humans for food lumsden said trumpeters are hearty enough to find a food supply on their own generally consisting of pond weeds and other aquatic plants our policy is by all means feed the birds at this stage of the program the name of the game is survival said lumsden as long as we can get good survival rates in these critical years gradually theyll look after themselves lumsden and others in the project have as a goal 15 breeding pairs in the wilds of ontario by the end of the century he thinks its within sight if survival rates dont changeand we are able to release 30 twoyearold birds well reach the goal by 1999 he predicted if you are interested in becoming a coopera tor contact harry lumsden at 905 7276492 preferably after 7 pm correction in the wednesday tribune a story on lynda norman
