There they got Tundra swan sightings num-
bered. 8,000 to 10.000 near the Lambton
Heritage Museum on the weekend. Every
March, the small swans are noted in the area
for their high-pitched yodels and attraction to
water. The latest snowfall provided enough
water for their liking as they rested and fed on
leftover corn and soy beans before continuing
on their long trek to Hudson Bay.
Tundra swans - a sure sign of spring
LAMBTON- COUNTY - Along a flooded field, vehicles dot the shoul-
der of. the read and curious people stand' with binoculars, cameras and.
sun -shielding hands to witness the smallest swan in North America —
thc tundra swan. •
The high-pitched yodellers began arriving in the Old Thedford Bog ear-
ly .last month.-Every'March they travel. from Chesapeake Bay and stop'
here on their way to nesting grounds on Hudson Bay shores. They migrate
nearly 6:500 km from their, wintering areas to their summer breeding ter-
- ritories. .
The bog was once a huge wetland and has been used as a stopover point
for swans and other waterfowl for thousands of years.
Although the hog's soil was converted to farmland in 1955, waterfowl
continue to use it and take advantage of corn and soy beans left over from
the previous harvest, -
The weekend proved an ideal time to spot the swans, which were drawn
to water collected from the latest snowfall. ••
"They:re interesting."_ said Alan Anderson as he sat on a lawnchair to
view the swans from the side of road. ''It's one,of the, first signs (of
spring) ,. -
The Chesley area resident has made -the trip to Lambton •County to see
the• swans for the past three or four years.
According- to Bob•Tremain, curator of the Lambton Heritage Museum,,
, an estimated 8.,000 to 10.000 swans were sighted on the weekend.
"Last year we had a good year," he said. "We had 10,000 birds."
Norrnally up_to 13.000 birds are sightedeach year. Also spottedon Sun-
day
unday was a Sandhill Crane, a species normally seen in the Prairie prov•
-
inces. .
"He was probably just migrating along with the swans,'' said Tremain.
To celebrate the swans' Visit, the museum held a field identification
event and featured a talk on winter feeding stations on the weekend._
Through Ontario Tourism. the museum invested •$13,000 on a mar-
keting project including a World Wide Web site posting swan counts and
locations.
