Tundra Swan Migration - 2018

Aylmer Wildlife Management Area     -4c, cold, strong NW winds, cloudy

I went to the Aylmer Wildlife Management Area today to view the Tundra Swans.  It's NE of the town of Aylmer in Elgin County.  There were approx. 1,100 swans.  I also saw Canada Geese and Mallards.  The swans fly in to refuel on their migration to the high Arctic.

I'm wondering if this is a Cackling Goose.  I've never seen one. 





I also saw Blue Jays, Tree Sparrow, Killdeers, Common Grackles, 
Mourning Dove, and Robins.
