For reasons that i don't try to understand i happened to be awake @0310 on 3/7/12 and heard the unmistakeable sound of Tundra swans in flight even though my windows were shut tight against the cold.  I assume they must have been either flying at low levels although the sky was moonlit and without cloud cover, or (my preferred version) at higher altitude but in such VAST numbers that their singing was of such volume in combination that it was able to filter down thru the atmosphere to my sheltered bedroom.  I missed them when they came overhead in the Fall, so this was a nice consolation prize.
