When it comes to the bird world, swans are absolute stars. Their gleaming feathers and slender necks make them fairly well-liked waterfowl. As winter approaches, Tundra Swans will fly south along the Pacific Flyway, just in time for the California Swan Festival. There’s no wrong way to meet your heroes. If you want to catch a glimpse of these majestic creatures, join a hike, tag along with some professional nature photographers or hop on board a Swan Car Tour at Swan Central.
