Cygnus columbianus bewickii, commonly known as Bewick's swan, is a species of waterfowl found in Europe and Asia. Some synonyms for this species include the tundra swan, whistling swan, and Siberian swan. The bird is known for its distinct whistle-like call and its striking white plumage. Bewick's swans are migratory birds that travel long distances each year between their breeding grounds in the Arctic tundra and their wintering grounds in Europe and Asia. Despite their formidable size, these swans are relatively peaceful birds that feed on plants in shallow water. Their graceful movements and rich cultural symbolism have made them a beloved part of many human cultures throughout history.
