Cygnus columbianus
The Tundra Swan (Cygnus columbianus) is a majestic migratory bird species that visits the wetlands and water bodies of Croatia during its annual journey.
Distinguished by its snowy white plumage and striking black bill, this swan species adds elegance to the natural landscapes it inhabits. Tundra Swans are known for their long-distance migrations, traveling thousands of kilometers to reach their breeding and wintering grounds.
In Croatia, they can be spotted in coastal areas, marshes, and lakes, where they forage on aquatic vegetation and small invertebrates. Conservation efforts focusing on preserving their habitats and ensuring their safe migration routes are essential for safeguarding the Tundra Swan population in Croatia.
