Probably more about bare ground or open water somewhere than temp. Seen a few hanging around here all winter when was open water.???

With a food source and open water low temps mean nothing.

Finding them dead from bird flu here, I've personally found 5 with many more reported.

Sandhills of Nebraska is loaded with big flocks of swans. Never seen before.

Open winter. There is a lot of feed in those untilled corn fields. Even with 1-2% field loss with harvesting that means a lot of bushels in a 40-50 acre field.

Got a swan today in the snow. They sure are tasty!


Stop over cooking your meat! It isn’t gamey, it’s over cooked!

I saw a small flock flying here the other day. I was able to harvest one when I lived in North Dakota, they are a BIG bird.
