By John Gavloski It is always exciting to see migratory birds and in- sects returning in the spring. There are some spe- cies that we only get to see for short periods in the spring or fall when they migrate through on their way to their summer or winter homes. One such species is the tundra swan. A large fl ock of these was present on the lake at Stephenfi eld Provincial Park recently, along with an assortment of migra- tory ducks. The assortment of waterfowl that we ob- served on the lake April 5th included tundra swans, and ducks such as ring-necked, northern shovelers, canvasbacks, mallards, common mergansers and scaups. In this month’s Incredible Creatures we will explore the tundra swan, a bird with a long migra- tion, and interesting breeding rituals. There are seven species of swans in the world. Two of these, the tundra swan and the trumpeter swan, are native to North America. Any swan seen in Manitoba will either be a tundra or trumpeter swan. One non-native species, the mute swan, is also found in some eastern parts of North America. People brought mute swans from Europe and Asia for ornamental display in parks and zoos, and now this species is found in the wild in certain areas. Telling tundra swans and trumpeter swans apart can be tricky. Trumpeter swans are slightly larger than tundra swans. At close range, a small yellow mark at the base of the bill, close to the eye, can be seen on the tundra swan. There is no such mark on the trumpeter swan.
