SUNRIVER —

Chuck, the sometimes aggressive trumpeter swan at the Sunriver Nature Center, appears to have finally found a pond partner.

Grace, a swan found along the Deschutes River on Christmas Day 2013 with a fishing lure stuck in her tongue, is the lucky lady swan sticking to Chuck’s side at Lake Aspen next to the Nature Center.
