Swanning around
in Grand Bend
Hundreds of majestic tundra swans, actually North America's smallest swan, arrived at the
former Lake Smith area south of Grand Bend in the past few days, as they migrate north to
the arctic. The birds each
weigh about seven kilos,
and have a wing span of
about two metres.
Bob Turnbull of Grand
Bend (below) provides a
telescope and some ex-
planation of the tundra
swans' habits to the group
of Kirkton Guides who visit-
ed the Lake Smith area in
Bosanquet Township Sun-
day.
