One of our spring rituals is watching for Tundra Swans visiting our area on their way to their northern breeding grounds. Last year's migration was spread out over a longer period, so we saw very few swans migrating though our area on a given day.
Although we haven't seen numbers this year like we did a few years ago, there were quite a few around when I dropped in to our viewing spot yesterday:
Here's a short video of some of the action:
FYI, the swan viewing area we usually go to is near the Lambton Heritage Museum, on Hwy 21 near Pinery Provincial Park. The swans are usually found along Greenway Road (aka Road 5), which runs off Hwy 21 near the museum.
A few more pictures from today.
Today there were likely twice as many swans in the main viewing areas along Greenway Rd, on both sides of the road today:
Once back at home we went to see what Lake Huron looks like today. A beautiful-looking day but with a cool breeze from the east. The lake ice is shrinking and shifting daily:
Thank you for sharing this post with us; they are stunning birds & it's a treat to see them.All the best.
