Outdoornews December 15, 2020 Several days ago, I cruised the western Lake Erie lakeshore zone in a seasonal search of old friends – flocks of migrating tundra swans – and saw not a one. I chalked it up to sunny bluebird weather, but wondered whether I had missed the annual mystical fall flights of these long-distance migrants. But today, just four days later, on a strong northwest wind and falling temperatures, it “felt” like winter for sure. It would drop to 18 degrees overnight. Like clockwork, the tundras – once called whistling swans for their melodic bugling calls aloft  – showed up in lakeshore-zone chopped cornfields. Easily 200 of them were clustered into a single chopped corn patch off State Rt. 19, north of Oak Harbor in western Ottawa County, the same field that attracted them en masse a year ago. Several miles north, in a harvested cornfield not far from the mouth of Turtle Creek, another 50 or so were resting and feeding.
