Courtesy of Times bird beat reporter Leslie Newell Peacock (really, that’s her name): These young trumpeter swans are en route to Arkansas from Iowa, by trailer. They’ll be dropped off next week at the Buffalo National River and the Holla Bend National Wildlife Refuge as part of a trumpeter swan restoration project. Note to Mike Huckabee: These are NOT to be fried in a popcorn popper. News release on the jump.
