Trumpeter Swans overwinter in the Dungeness agricultural landscape every year. While local swan numbers are not as high as counties east of the Salish Sea, the OPAS swan team's data offer a high level of detail and consistency.

Over 11 years of swan surveys, the team has expanded the scope of this study beyond daytime counts of foraging swans. Laura will describe these data, with rich insights into the winter sustenance these birds find and the local habitats used by the swans, including safe night-roosting.
