This would be a tough question, without knowing the species and what flock (i.e., parental routes they took with their parents). Because Kansas has many migratory wetlands and stopovers, and many species of waterfowl use these sites, it would be hard to know if these areas freeze or they are used for overwintering. It is also hard to know if the swans travel with all of the waterfowl throughout the migratory path or take off on various paths.

Trumpeter swans from the north may winter along the Eastern Rockies and Tundra Swans migrate East toward North Carolina. This does not mean that the species do not cross over and go west or east. Additionally, some of the birds can accidently get on the wrong path due to a storm and land in areas that are not meant to have swans. Several years ago, a lone Tundra Swan got caught in a storm and landed at a waste treatment center in Tallahassee, Florida. Tundras are definitely not seen that far south so human intervention was necessary to capture and redirect it back to a nearby migratory stopover. The Regal Swan
