However, I've really enjoyed hearing large groups of Tundra Swans calling in Broad Creek recently and would love to hear this swan. In fact, many people at the pond have asked me what the bird would sound like if it did call. If there is a way to cause the Swan to repond to a call, without disturbing the bird, I would enjoy doing so. I may check on the bird some evening when the hundreds of the geese are being so noisy and flying around, and perhaps the swan will be more vocal as well. I typically only check the pond before work and at lunchtime.
