Tundra Swan (Cygnus columbianus)


CAPTION: Tundra Swan - Long neck and large, webbed feet
THIS MEDIUM-SIZED SWAN exists in three slightly different forms. The form that lives in North America is often called the whistling swan. Male and female swans pair for life. When they migrate southward after breeding, their young fly with them, and the family stays together until the following spring.

The tundra swan (Cygnus columbianus) is a small Holarctic swan. The two taxa within it are usually regarded as conspecific, but are also sometimes split into two species: Bewick's swan (Cygnus bewickii) of the Palaearctic and the whistling swan (Cygnus columbianus) proper of the Nearctic.
