Swan Links & Resources
Swan numbers fluctuate widely every spring. Weather is the biggest factor in determining how many swans can be found at any one time at M'Clintock Bay. Since 1972 swan numbers have been counted, and by 1986 the count was expanded to cover a full 5-week period. During the peak of the migration (usually during the third week of April) as many as 2600 swans have been counted at Swan Haven.
