Western Iowa Today 96.5 KSOM KS 95.7 announced the winner of their Trumpeter Swan Contest, which took place throughout the month of June. The contest, sponsored by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, aimed to raise awareness about the trumpeter swans in the area and educate the public about their importance to the ecosystem.
The winner of the contest was announced as Jane Smith, a resident of Red Oak, Iowa. Smith was thrilled to win and expressed her excitement at the opportunity to learn more about these magnificent birds.
Trumpeter swans are the largest waterfowl in North America and were once on the brink of extinction. Thanks to conservation efforts, their population has been steadily increasing. They are known for their distinctive trumpeting call and striking white plumage.
As the winner of the Trumpeter Swan Contest, Jane Smith will receive a guided tour of a local swan habitat, where she will have the opportunity to observe these majestic birds in their natural environment. She will also receive a prize package that includes a pair of binoculars and a field guide to birdwatching.
“I am so grateful to have won this contest,” said Jane Smith. “I have always been fascinated by wildlife, and I can’t wait to learn more about trumpeter swans and their importance to our ecosystem.”
The Trumpeter Swan Contest was a huge success in raising awareness about these beautiful birds and fostering a deeper appreciation for nature in the Western Iowa community. Congratulations to Jane Smith on being selected as the winner!
