Subject: [MDBirding] Movement of Tundra Swans, Montgomery County, 12/28/12


My daughter and I went out for a late afternoon walk on the C&O Canal towpath at Carderock in Montgomery County. About 4:25, we had a �V� of at least 80 Tundra Swans fly over fairly high heading south. Just a few minutes ago I was out filling our bird feeders in the dark and heard more Tundra Swans headed south. I�m wondering if this movement relates to the recent cold and snowy weather coming to states north of Maryland. Checking eBird, I found Tundra Swans being reported in this part of Maryland so far in December only in very small groups.
