The Swans Have Moved On
April 8, 2026
After another annual stop at the Aylmer Wildlife Management Area, the swans have moved on to their mating grounds in the high Arctic. A total of 28,854 swans were counted between March 10 and the last day of counting on April 2.
Many thanks to Eastlink for providing the Swan Line to the museum free of charge. Special thanks to the Elgin Stewardship Council for acting as the swans’ caretakers and for providing us with their daily numbers.
Thank you for visiting this page; we look forward to seeing you again in the spring of 2027!
