Every year, thousands of trumpeter swans flock to McClintock Bay, Yukon

Every year, locals flock to McClintock Bay, on the lake's northern tip, to witness the large gathering of some 3,000 swans. The birds rest and feed in the ice-free water before they continue their long journey north. Residents, like filmmaker Karine Genest, love heading down to the water's edge to catch a glimpse. A century ago, trumpeter swans were nearly driven to extinction by hunting and by 1933, only 77 breeding birds remained in Canada. Today, after decades of intensive conservation work, the swans number around 16,000 in North America. And they're worth celebrating — locals hold the annual 'Celebration of Swans' to welcome the birds, and spring, back to Yukon.
