Tundra Swan Count at 4,500 Saturday March 10

3/15/2012

 
Visitors flocked to the Aylmer Wildlife Management Area this past Sunday (March 11th, 2012) to view the Tundra Swan migration. Elgin Stewardship Council volunteer Keith Malcolm was on hand to answer questions about the swans. 

He noted that the Sunday count was 4,166, while Saturday’s had been 4,500. The stopovers started this year on February 27th  and  last year they lasted 28 days.

Photographers line the outdoor viewing stand, and visitors of all ages check out the displays and take the opportunity to ask questions and watch the birds from the indoor area.
Photographer Mark Girdauskas stopped in to take photos - check out a few of them below.
The Aylmer-Malahide Museum & Archives SWAN hotline is 5190773-7926 – the count on Thursday March 15th was 3,350.
