Population status

Tundra Swan
(Cygnus columbianus)

Tundra Swans are managed as two distinct populations; the Eastern Population and the Western Population, primarily based on affiliations with each of their traditional major wintering areas occurring along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Numbers for the Eastern Population appear to have increased slightly over the last decade while the Western Population, which includes birds breeding in Alaska, has shown a relative stable trend during the same period. Detailed information on the population status of waterfowl species is available in the Population Status of Migratory Game Birds in Canada report (summarized version).
