Feeding swans at Carrying Place

Golf club feeding Trumpeter Swans
The gentleman (above) from Carrying Place Golf and Country Club is seen feeding swans (both Trumpeters and Mutes) at the big pond, fronting on Weston Road, north of the Lloydtown-Aurora Road.

 

The patches of open water on the Carrying Place big pond are created by sump-pumping pond water (see photo above).   Between feeding and providing open water for the big swans, the expectation is that the Trumpeter Swans will winter remain onsite until spring. The two Mute Swans are permanent, year-around residents.  Below, two of the Trumpeter Swans appear to be having a tete-a-tete.

Please comment if you wish.
