Tundra Swans

Andy | Wednesday, April 11, 2018 | Best Blogger Tips
On their way to Arctic Region between Alaska and Baffin Island the swans stop here to refuel on their migration journey.

Each year it's expected that ten to sixty thousand birds will stopover here. The best time to view vast numbers of swans is early morning or late evening. Unfortunately I was there midday when their numbers are reduced.

    I can't imagine how crowded it must be at peak hours. Wonderful that they have preserved a space for the swans and our other natural species.

    I did not think they held with technology and one of them is holding a digital camera

    The number of swans is -even at midday- amazing to see. I also like your first photo; could it be a group of nuns?

    I love it. So many swans, so many nuns! Hallelujah! Re Mr. Nicholls' comment: There are a wide variety of configurations for nuns. Some are more detached from the world, others embrace it. Not a few wear regular clothes and work in worldly endeavors.

    Andy, even you saw Tundra swans in midday, there are plenty of them. And they are so beautiful!
    And the first photo of nuns is also great!

    Wow, if that is reduced, I can't imagine what it looks like when they are all there.

    Even at lower numbers, that's quite a crowd.

    The swan place is special. The suggestive image.

    Great photo of those migrating swans. We went to see the Sandhill crane migration two weeks ago. Another impressive sight.

    Magic and I have never see so many swans - the ground must not be able to be seen if there are more..

    Lovely to see them--- especially with the geese to add contrast. Nuns are always CUTE!
