Eight of eleven Trumpeter Swans that over-wintered on the big pond at Carrying Place Golf & Country on Weston Road in King Township, remain at the site. Could it be that the remaining swans intend to make this a permanent site? Finding a nesting site that is mostly hidden could be a challenge.
Meanwhile, over at the Glenville Pond site, on Dufferin Street, south of Hwy. 9, a Trumpeter Swan decoy (at left) has been put in place to attract migrants from the south. A program to raise Trumpeter Swans at Glenville has been underway for a few years and there is probably an expectation that Trumpeters released here may return her to breed. Below is a photo showing Trumpeter Swans in this location a few years ago. if you wish.
