Whooper Swan

The Whooper Swans found in winter time in Hokkaido spend most of the year in the Russian Arctic and migrate to Japan to escape the freezing Arctic winter temperatures. They arrive in Japan in late autumn just before the 1st snow has hit the ground, and they depart in late winter before the snow leaves the ground.
