This afternoon, at around 4:30 pm, there was one Tundra Swan amongst a variety
of other waterfowl in the small body of open water on Lake Ontario, located
south of Unwin Ave. along the small road leading to the Outer Harbour Marina.
About 14 Trumpeter Swans were also present, as well as one male Northern
Pintail, a number of Redhead, Greater Scaup, Common Goldeneye and many Mallards
and Canada Geese. There were also Red-breasted Mergansers.
A small flock of American Tree Sparrows were also present in the low shrubs.
Unwin Ave. runs between Cherry St. and Leslie St., slightly west of Tommy
Thompson Park. The Martin Goodman Trail is just south of here. There is a one
lane bridge on Unwin Ave. close to this spot, with a patch of open water
beneath it where more Common Goldeneye and Red-breasted Mergansers were hanging
out.
Cheers,
