Trumpeter Swans: Of Lead, Whirligigs, and E.B. White

Living on Earth
The World

Compassion and creativity can be powerful together, especially when you add in some persistence and a sense of urgency about an endangered species. Bob Carty has this story of a device used to scoop gun-shot out of waters where the bullet lead is poisoning Trumpeter Swans. Author E.B. White reads from his book, “The Trumpet of the Swan.” and the music in the piece is by Jane Sibbery.
