Tundra Swan migration




Mid March is the peak of Tundra Swan migration in southwestern Ontario. The sight (and sound) of hundreds, sometimes thousands, of these impressive birds descending into a flooded corn stubble field is truly memorable. Here are a few images taken on March 16, 2008 from the fields adjacent the St. Clair National Wildlife Area near Chatham.
