Heard Tundra Swans migrating at night

William, one of our readers in New York State, sent us this report - At approximately 12:30 am, March 10 2010, I was listening to the nocturnally migrating birds and heard a flock of Tundra Swans passing overhead.

This was near the Buffalo-Niagara International Airport in Cheektowaga, NY. They sounded to be at quite a good altitude, above 3000ft and were moving to the north.

Thank you William, it's good to know that the Tundra Swans are on their way here - they should be arriving in Southern Ontario any time now!
