Tundra Swan Migration Calendar

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

Tundra Swan Migration Calendar – 2024 Season

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

January 31, 2024	We have received a few reports of Tundra Swan sightings in Lambton County and Huron County over the last few weeks. We have not seen any swans in the fields behind Lambton Heritage Museum, but a few small groups appear to be moving early and you may spot them if you keep your eyes peeled!
February 7, 2024	There were about 50 Tundra Swans this morning in the field along Greenway Road. Small numbers of swans have been spotted in Lambton Shores quite often this winter.
February 12, 2024	About 1,000 Tundra Swans were active in the field southwest of Greenway Road this morning. They were quite spread out in smaller groups. Some were flying around and others were enjoying the waters of the flooded fields. The largest group could be seen from the corner of Blain Road and Haig Line.
February 22, 2024	About 1,000 Tundra Swans were enjoying the unseasonably warm weather this morning in the field southeast of Greenway Road. They were close to the road, easy to see, and I could hear their lovely melodious calls.
February 23, 2024	Just a small group of about 100 Tundra Swans was spotted this morning. They were near the corner of Haig Line and Blain Road off of River Road.
February 24, 2024	The only Tundra Swans spotted this morning was a group of about 10 swimming in a small pond on Bog Line right off of Northville Road.  We still expect to see more of the larger groups as the season progresses though!
February 27, 2024	This morning a small group of Tundra Swans flew over the fields along Greenway Road. Unfortunately, they didn't land and there were no other swans in the field. Tundra Swans are in the area though, and hopefully larger flocks will arrive soon.
February 28, 2024	Tundra Swans were active in the area this morning but it was difficult to get a good view. Some were deep in a field along Bog Line. A few hundred were quite close to the corner of Haig Line and Blain Road. Just a few were near Greenway Road but others were flying around much deeper in the field southwest of Greenway Road.
March 4, 2024	A small group of a couple hundred Tundra Swans were active in the fields near the corner of Blain Road and Haig Line this morning.
March 6, 2024	Tundra Swans are in the area this morning. Small groups were spotted in the fields and in the air, with the largest group (a few hundred) near the corner of Blain Road and Haig Line. Perhaps more swans will arrive as the weather remains mild?
March 7, 2024	Tundra Swans are active again today! Their numbers appear to be growing. About a thousand swans are spread in pockets in the fields along River Road, Blain Road, and Haig Line. Bring binoculars because it's hard to find a good viewpoint from the road.
March 8, 2024	Fewer swans this morning, but a group of several hundred could still be seen in a flooded corner of the field at the corner of Blain Road and Haig Line.
March 9, 2024	About the same number of Tundra Swans today near the corner of Blain Road and Haig Line. Other groups of swans were spotted flying in the area. Their white feathers really stand out against the rainy, dark blue sky!
March 12, 2024	A group of a thousand or more Tundra Swans were in the flooded field at the corner of Blain Road and Haig Line this morning. Small groups were scattered in a few other places. Maybe warmer weather this week will bring a few more swans to the area.
March 13, 2024	Tundra Swan numbers were much lower this morning near the corner of Blain Road and Haig Line. A small group was also spotted along Lakeshore Road near Outer Drive.
March 14, 2024	Just a few Tundra Swans were spotted this morning. There were a handful around Lakeshore Road and Outer Drive, and about 40 near the corner of Blain Road and Haig Line.
March 16, 2024	There were only about 10 swans located on River Road and another 20-30 along Haig Line but Port Franks way, on Willsie Line, there were approximately 100 swans, all fairly close to the road and easy to spot without binoculars!
March 18, 2024	It feels like winter again! Unfortunately, no Tundra Swans were spotted in the area this morning.
March 26, 2024	It's been more than a week since Tundra Swans were spotted near the museum. It looks like they have continued on their migration north. This was an unusual year for Tundra Swans. Small groups were spread across a wide area and remained for an extended period. Hopefully, next year they will return to Lambton Shores in impressive numbers once again.
