Several hundred Tundra Swans have been present all day at Laurel Creek Conservation Area. In addition to the swans there is a nice aggregation of other waterfowl. The predominant species is Ring-necked Duck; also there are Lesser Scaup, Bufflehead, Common Goldeneye, American Wigeon, Gadwall, Common Merganser, Mallard and, it goes without saying, Canada Geese. This is the first time I have ever seen Tundra Swans here.
Directions: From Highway 401 take the Highway 8 exit, proceed north to Highway 85 to Waterloo, exit at Northfield Drive, proceed west to Westmount, turn right and the conservation area is on the left.
