(Cygnus columbianus)
My brother-in-law Patrick O'Kelly of London, Ontario, sent me two photos he recently took of approximately 2,000 Tundra Swans, at the Aylmer Wildlife Management Area, about 5 kms. north of Lake Erie. These huge birds are migrating north to their breeding grounds around Hudson Bay and even farther north. Their call is a loud, high-pitched whooping or yodeling. Their presence in Ontario is only for a short time during a narrow migration passage but they are an impressive show when they are spotted.
Please comment if you wish.
