Tundra Swans at Baywatch
Migration activity has greatly increased at the baywatch. A seasonal high count of 327 Northern Gannets were
detected on Sunday, migrating south towards the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay.
Migration activity has also increased for waterfowl; now totaling 17
species. The three tundra swans pictured below were floating and vocalizing in front
of the baywatch today.
