Monson M. 1956. From Field and Study: Nesting of trumpeter swan in the lower Copper River basin, Alaska. The Condor. 58(6):444-445
Contains field observation made in summers 1954 and 1955 on the breeding grounds of Cygnus buccinator in the region (61 degrees N. 144 degrees - 145 degrees 30'W.) where the Bremner and Tasnuna Rivers converge with the Copper. Some pairs of adults and cygnets were observed, a few nests were found and eggs measured; measurements of trumpeter swan and whistling swan eggs are tabulated. Earlier reports of the trumpeter swan are from Fort Yukon and Chickaloon Flats on the Kenai Peninsula
