The autumn migration of Tundra swans is now in full swing. There are already thousands and thousands of them in Northern Utah. These majestic birds will soon head to Northern California for the winter.
This evening I was lucky enough to watch Tundra swans until they are gone. My only regret was that these birds were so far away and I didn't have binoculars with me.
Well, I will wait patiently until February arrives and the Tundra swans will return to the Bear River Migratory Bird refuge, where they will remain for a few weeks during their long migration back to their breeding grounds in Alaska.
Migration Map of Tundra Swans
Tundra swans who are breeding in Western Alaska
every year migrate to Northern California for winter.
In February they move to Northern Utah and stay there for a few weeks
and then return to their breeding grounds to Western Alaska.
Generally, life is good.
are you in the southern part of their wintering area ?
ReplyDeleteI am in northern Utah. Tundra swans do not winter where I live, but migrate through northern Utah during November and February.

DeleteEs el destino de muchas especies de animales buscar mejores territorios para pasar los veranos o los inviernos.

No había visto, tantos cisnes juntos. Dan alegría al paisaje, cuya vista, ya de por sí es espléndida.
