^{Kind of an artsy interpretation of the swan. I think swans are such beautiful birds. I see Tundra swans in the summer where I camp, I just love to watch them. This was the first time I was able to get so close and photograph them.

In mid-March, the Tundra swans gather in Aylmer. More than 1,000 swans can be seen almost every day, the most ever seen at one time was 5,000 birds in a single day.

There are two distinct populations of these birds. One is the the Eastern population and the other, the Western population. It is the Eastern Population only that travels through Southern Ontario, as they make their Spring migration between their Atlantic coast wintering areas and arctic coastline breeding grounds. These birds spend their winters in Chesapeake Bay, Maryland, USA, and up to 60,000 of them fly through this area in spring.

The Tundra Swan (formerly named the Whistling Swan) is identifiable by its black beak and has a small patch of yellow close to the eye. The female Swan is known as a "Cob" and the male is known as a "Pen" and it is said that these birds mate for life.}
