Tundra Swans in Flight.

Tundra Swans in Flight

Every winter, hundreds of Tundra Swans arrive at Trap Pondto rest from their summer breeding season in the Arctic. The swans overnight onthe pond in January and February, leaving during the day to feed in the localfields. Park visitors have a great opportunity to witness the flight of thesebirds in the early mornings and evenings. If your family or household group would like to witness the Tundra Swans leaving or returning to the pond the best time is 20 minutes before sunrise, or 20 minutes after sunset. These time frames fall outside of our normal park hours. Please call the nature center at 302-875-5163 to make an early morning or late evening appointment for access to the park.
