Birds on Exhibit

Captive Birds of Kellogg Sanctuary

Waterfowl – Housed in Lagoon and Wintergreen Lake

  • Giant Canada Goose – This goose is housed with the Black Swans and can be identified by their red leg bands, large size, and lots of white on their chest.
  • Mute Swan– This swan is located on Wintergreen Lake and can be identified by his orange bill and red neck collar.
  • Trumpeter Swan – The Sanctuary is a home for rehabilitated, native Trumpeter Swans.  You can identify them by their black bills and red neck collars. The majority of the swans seen on Wintergreen Lake are wild visitors. 
  • Trooper Swan – These swans are a hybrid species.  They are a cross between a Trumpeter Swan and a Whooper Swan.  They can be identified by the large yellow patch on their black bill and red neck collars.  They can be seen along the Lake Loop path in the summer or on Wintergreen Lake during the winter.
