Tundra Swans

Tundra Swans

The scientific name for the tundra swan is cygnus columbianus. The tundra swan is the smallest American swan. Tundra swans have white plumage, black bills and a yellow spot in front of the eye.

The tundra swan is found in North America. Tundra swans eat aquatic plants and small mollusks.

Tundra swans build their nest from mounds of leaves and grass. They lay 2-7 eggs, after 32 days the eggs hatch.

The young swans will often leave their nest but they stay with their parents until spring. Younger trumpeter swans have a pinkish bill and gray-brown plumage, but it turns white faster than other swan species young.
