A major movement of Tundra Swans pushed into southern Ontario this morning. Flock after flock flew over the house (here at Long Pt.) beginning around 6:30 this morning and are stilling passing over as I write this. Numbers are certainly in the thousands if not tens of thousands. Given an eight to ten hour flight, these birds began leaving the upper Chesapeake sometime before midnight last night.
