Tundra Swan Migration Calendar

Tundra Swan sightings behind Lambton Heritage Museum is a longstanding tradition!

Tundra Swan Migration Calendar – 2026 Season

Keep an eye on our migration calendar for updates on Tundra Swan numbers, as observed off Greenway Road behind Lambton Heritage Museum!

March 3, 2026	We haven't spotted any Tundra Swans yet this year in the fields along Greenway Road. We're checking daily and will post when they have arrived in the area. The weather forecast looks promising with lots of rain and warmer temperatures expected this week. Hopefully this will draw the swans to the bog!
March 6, 2026	We still haven't seen Tundra Swans in large numbers near the Museum. This afternoon, we spotted a small group of about 150 swans off River Road thirty seconds south of Greenway Road. Some were flying overhead, but most were deep in the field and difficult to see. We hope more swans enter the area into next week and that we can report bigger numbers soon!
March 9, 2026	Tundra Swans have returned to the area! Numbers near the Museum are still low. There were no swans this morning along Greenway Road, but a few flocks were spotted in the air. A couple hundred were enjoying the flooded fields off Lakeshore Road near Outer Drive. Along with the warmer weather and sunshine this is a wonderful sign of spring. Hopefully there are more swans still to come!
March 10, 2026	This morning, Tundra Swans were gathered far back in the fields east of River Road. Even with binoculars it was tough to spot the swans or estimate their numbers. The best vantage point is along Lakeshore Road near Outer Drive where about 50 Tundra swans are active in the flooded fields.
March 11, 2026	Tundra Swans were spread out in small numbers on this rainy morning. Groups ranged in size from about 50 to 200 swans. They were spotted in the fields along Lakeshore Road near Outer Drive, east of River Road just south of Greenway Road, and north of the corner of Blain Road and Haig Line. A couple flocks were also seen flying in the area.
March 12, 2026	A quiet morning for Tundra Swans in the area right around Lambton Heritage Museum. A small flock was spotted north of Greenway Road yesterday evening, but no swans were near Greenway this morning. There are some swans deep in the field off River Road but they are difficult to see. We have heard reports that they are active in other parts of the County.
