This pair of Tundra Swans enjoy a stop over at the big pond on the Boundary Creek Wildlife management area in North Boundary County. Not only do mated adults stay loyal for life, they teach and protect their offspring through the young swans’ first migration and winter.

Tundra Swans stop-over in North Idaho
Springtime is here and swans have returned to the ponds of North Idaho. The ponds at the Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge currently host 40-60 and the Boundary Creek Wildlife Management Area host 200-300 hundred Tundra Swans and several hundred ducks and geese. The ponds of North Idaho are alive with quacks, honks, whistles, wing flapping and birds anxious to head north.
