Four trumpeter swan cygnets hatched Thursday from a nest lat Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory — two years to the day after another four cygnets were born on the Fourth of July to the same mother, Grace, and her previous mate, Chuck, who was slain later that year. The trumpeter swans that reside at Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory are part of a reintroduction program managed by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and Trumpeter Swan Society to expand breeding trumpeter swan numbers and distribution in south-central and southeast Oregon.
