The Little River is currently frozen in front of my place, but there is open water right by the water treatment plant, as easily seen from the small bridge that crosses the Little River where Little River Road enters Little River Corridor Park. Just five minutes ago while I was filling feeders on my deck, a single Trumpeter Swan flew past coming FROM the treatment plant open water area and going north toward the marina. But it veered off when it had to rise to clear the Wyandotte Street East bridge and headed east toward North Neighbourhood Pond, which is viewable on eBird, I think. (see map below)
So if you, like my friend Jeremy Hatt, have dipped on the Trumpeters at Lakeview Park Marina, always check the treatment plant and North Neighbourhood Pond areas before heading home for the day. I hope this map is helpful. https://www.google.com/maps/place/42%C2%B019'31.1%22N+82%C2%B055'25.3%22W/@42.325301,-82.9236889,15z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0 Kelly Morrissey PS I did not see any tags on the bird, but I was busy concentrating on the bill.
