Trumpeter Swans in Minnesota

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : The Midwestern USA state of Minnesota (also known as the Land of 10,000 Lakes) is ground zero for epic bird migrations in and out of neighboring Canada to the north. Contributor Tyler Mason was visiting a lake in the northern part of the state in November when he happened upon a group of trumpeter swans taking a break from their southward migration. His drone footage of what appears to be hundreds of birds on the glass smooth water is spectacular.

On Thanksgiving, I enjoyed the opportunity to witness a few groups of migrating trumpeter swans on my grandparents' lake in northern Minnesota. They'll stay in one spot as long as there is still open water. Once that water freezes, they keep going south. These things were noisy, too!
