Each year the tundra swans pass through Southern Ontario, including Rondeau.
These winged giants come from the Chesapeake Bay to our area over night.
They feed here and then fly to Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba, again, over night.
After feeding and resting the fly to the arctic to breed.

According to the National Geographic these birds can fly at altitudes of 8 kilometres or approximately 27,000 feet.

They weight between 7 and 21 pounds and have wing spans between 5 and 6 feet.
