We witnessed a small part of the annual migration that Tundra Swans make from their winter home on the US east coast (like the Carolinas) on their way to Canada's Arctic. Then they'll do the reverse trip in the fall. Tundra Swans spend about 20% of the year migrating due to their need to take frequent breaks during their trips. We're very fortunate to live a few minutes' walk from one of their favourite places for a pit stop. We saw over a thousand of these beauties pass through during the two hours we watched.
