A new female at Sunriver, a new male at Aspen Lakes near Sisters
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Two birds of a feather for this Valentine's Day, as two Central Oregon trumpeter swans who recently lost their mates have been introduced to new intended partners.
At Aspen Lakes Golf Course, outside Sisters, a new male swan, Bob, was introduced about a week ago after the female swan, Eloise, recently lost her mate to illness.
When we checked on the pair Thursday, they appeared to be getting along pretty well.
Meanwhile, at the Sunriver Nature Center and the Oregon Observatory, a new female was introduced Wednesday as a mate for Gus, who lost his mate, Gracie, last fall, likely to a coyote attack.
