| March 5, 2025 | About 25 Tundra Swans were spotted this morning in the fields along Greenway Road. What a wonderful sign that spring is on the way! |
| March 6, 2025 | Even though the weather has taken a chilly turn, the Tundra Swans have returned to Lambton Shores! A thousand or more swans were seen in flooded fields along Greenway Road and Lakeshore Road near Port Franks, hunkered down against the wind and blowing snow. |
| March 7, 2025 | It's a bit tricky to find the Tundra Swans today but they are still in the area in numbers similar to yesterday. The swans are spread out in small groups deep in the fields. The best places to see them this morning were along River Road and Blain Road. They may move around throughout the day. Bring binoculars! |
| March 8, 2025 | Tundra Swans are spread out across the area again this morning. We're still waiting to see if they will arrive in very high numbers. Groups of 50 to a few hundred were seen in the fields along Lakeshore Road near Port Franks and along River Road and Blain Road. |
| March 10, 2025 |
With sunshine and a forecasted high of 12°, it's a beautiful day to come see the Tundra Swans. They still have not arrived in huge numbers, but you'll spot smaller groups in several locations. You can spot them north of Greenway Road, just west of Lakeshore Road; off River Road near Blain Road; and off Lakeshore Road near Port Franks. They are active in the flooded fields. |
| March 11, 2025 |
The best place to see Tundra Swans this morning is along the north side of Greenway Road. About 1,000 swans are spread out in that area. Other smaller groups can be found along River Road, Blain Road, and Lakeshore Road near Port Franks. |
| March 12, 2025 |
Tundra Swans are active in the area again today! Large groups can be seen along Greenway Road, Lakeshore Road near Port Franks, and deep in the fields off River, Blain, and Haig roads. Standing on River Road, I saw many small groups of Tundra Swans flying overhead and could hear their melodious calls all around me. Numbers appear to be about 2,000 to 4,000 in total. |
| March 13, 2025 |
It's a beautiful day to come see the Tundra Swans! About 2,000 to 4,000 swans are active on either side of Greenway Road. You can also spot several hundred swans along Lakeshore Road near Port Franks. The Tundra Swans are sharing the fields with other birds including gulls, ducks, and Canada geese. |
| March 14, 2025 |
It's another lovely day in the Thedford Bog. Swan numbers may be a little lower, but it was difficult to tell because there was so much activity. Small groups were soaring above the fields or flying from one field to another. You can still see a couple thousand in the fields along Greenway Road, plus several hundred off Lakeshore Road near Port Franks. |
| March 15, 2025 |
The weather is quite gloomy today! This morning, there were less than 100 swans spotted off Lakeshore Road near Port Franks. Travelling east along Greenway Road, there are roughly 100 swans, the majority are gathered on the right-hand side. |
| March 17, 2025 |
Despite the change in the weather, there are still Tundra Swans in the area this morning. A few hundred are spread out along Greenway Road where there is standing water in the fields. Small groups of swans can be seen in the distance, flying from field to field. |
| March 18, 2025 |
This morning several hundred Tundra Swans are out and about in the sunshine along Greenway Road. Other groups of swans are scattered among the local fields, sometimes quite far back from the road. The swans seem to move around a lot throughout the day. |
| March 19, 2025 |
Only a handful of Tundra Swans were spotted this morning deep in the field on the north side of Greenway Road. We'll keep looking to see if they return. It's possible they have moved on to the next stage of their migratory journey. |
| March 21, 2025 |
We found a small group of Tundra Swans north of Greenway Road this morning. They are far from the road and difficult to see. We drove along River Road from Bog Line and did not see any swans in those fields, but they have been moving around in the area. Bundle up this morning, it's chilly! |
| March 22, 2025 |
The day began with no swans and a light dusting of snow. By midday, the snow had melted and about 200 swans appeared in the fields off Lakeshore Road between Port Franks and Outer Drive. The swans were hanging out close to the road; no binoculars necessary! |
| March 25, 2025 |
No Tundra Swans were spotted this morning in the fields near Greenway Road. Small groups of swans may still be found in the area, depending on the time of day, but it appears the majority have moved on to the next stage of their northward migration. |
