"BOTTOMS UP"
There are four storm-water retention ponds at the Aurora Arboretum. These photos were taken at the largest of four ponds, close to the Aurora Municipal Offices on John West Way, north of Wellington Street East and east of the GOTrain tracks. In addition to numerous songbirds, Canada Geese, and Great Blue Herons, there is even a resident Trumpeter Swan (photo below).
There are numerous nesting boxes occupied by many Tree Swallows (above) at the arboretum and Great Blue Herons (photo below) are to be found also. However, the 'Great Blues' have to take a back seat to the Trumpeter Swan which has a 14" longer body and as much as a 26" wider wingspan!
