Tundra Swans
The Tundra Swans returned to spend their winter with us around the Chesapeake Bay, and I’m sure are unfazed by our arctic cold right now. That’s their summer norm on the Arctic Tundra.

Love Swans. We have resident Mute Swans (Orange bill). Like you over winter we too get visitors from Iceland and further north. Our are just a little different. The Whooper Swan has a black and yellow bill, the black being an angular point. The Bewick Swan also has a black and yellow bill, but the yellow area is larger and the black more rounded. They return each winter to our wetland marshy areas…. so far this year not manged a visit to admire. All the same species yet all a little different. 🙂
Our smaller flocks of Tundra is probably loving this weather here too 😆. They have been unusually comfortable in the closer marsh ponds this year, which is good for us.
Oh, I am so pleased to see them. Thank you!!! Your photographs capture all their glory. Black beaks, white bodies and the surrounding reeds. So beautiful,beautiful!
