Tundra Swans rest in North Carolina where we have various wild life refuges for them. We get about 60% of all the Tundras and it appears there are about 90,000 individuals on the East coast.
The size and power of the swan's wings fascinate me. The wing span is 66.1".
In the play," Angels in America", the wings of the angel were, I believe, based on those of a swan. The angel was "terrible" in a biblical sense, fierce and beautiful.
