The arrival and departure dates and the daily maximum populations of migrating swans (Cygnus cygnus) on the Asadokoro tidal flat, Hiranai town, Aomori Prefecture, Japan, were recorded by elementary school students for more than 50 years between 1956 and 2010. The Asadokoro tidal flat, which lies along the coast of Mutsu Bay, has been designated a National Special Natural Monument, known as “The swans of Kominato and their migration grounds.” This long history of observation unfortunately came to an end with the closure of the elementary school in 2012. If analyzed together with data on environmental factors, such as temperature changes or the effects of avian influenza, this dataset could provide a potentially valuable source of information, and consequently, future secondary use of the data is anticipated.
