Huge Trumpeter swan soars over Midland
The re-establishment of a Trumpeter Swan breeding population in south-central Ontario and in particular, in the Midland area of the Huronia tourist area of Simcoe County has been a resounding success over the last two decades. Commemorating and celebrating the re-introduction success is the beautiful sculpture, pictured here, of a massive Trumpeter Swan soaring above the harbour at Midland. The sculpture weighs 2,700 lbs., is 20 ft. high and has a wingspan of 25 ft.
Some perspective of the size of the monument is seen in the photo above as two seagulls are dwarfed as they sit, fore and aft, on the big bird's back.
