Spending a day at the Brownsville Overlook along the picturesque Mississippi River watching the Tundra and Trumpeter Swans arrive for their annual visit never gets old.
The best time of year to take a trip to Brownsville, Minn., to watch the swans in action is during the second week of November.
“When we hear his call, we hear no mere bird. We hear the trumpet in the orchestra of evolution.” ~ Aldo Leopold
