Tundra Swans are back in town. They are so elegant. They make a nonstop migration of almost a thousand miles to wintering areas in coastal New Jersey, the Susquehanna River Valley and in the #chesapeake region. Tundra swans winter on shallow tidal estuaries and on freshwater lakes, ponds, and rivers. They arrive at the wintering grounds from mid-November to mid-December. Banding indicates that they often return to the same wintering area year after year. They live a longtime. The oldest was a banded bird that lived 23 years!
