Fun Facts About The Tundra Swan!

During the winter months you will see flocks of Canada Geese, Snow Geese, and other ducks passing through! The one flock that will catch your eye is the Tundra Swans! These birds are phenomenal fliers, they can get caught in a tail winds and fly up to speeds of 100 mph! Not hard to miss this human sized bird flying high in the sky with a hoo-ho-hoo type of call! This is a bird that you have to see to respect their size! The tundra swan pairs will go steady with another for a year before deciding to breed! The babies are call cygnets, the parents are highly protective and have been known to shatter a human arm into shambles with one smack of their wings! So be careful when intruding on them! If you get a chance to see a Tundra Swan you won't be displeased with their natural beauty!

Have a blessed day!!
