Jennifer, Such a sweet remembrance of your uncle. Thanks for sharing.
I have birded that spot for many years, and I have never gone beyond the road’s end, nor seen anyone do anything except scope the view from the public road. I know it happens, but most of the birding community is respectful of property rights. And the swans this weekend were wonderful. (I counted 13.) I love hearing them talk amongst themselves. Their voices are so layered and resonant.

My aunt lives down there and it can sometimes get quite frustrating when people come in and wander freely as though it's a regular park area. It is not, it just has "park" in the name of the road. I appreciate your consideration. :) It warmed my heart to hear of the swans, thank you. When my uncle was dying, he asked to come home to Ladoga Park from Florida. He wanted to see his beloved lake again and hoped to see some swans too. It was February over a decade ago, and he got to see the swans. I will let my aunt know they are back. <3 Jennifer On Tue, Jan 25, 2022 at 10:57 AM Robyn Bailey <rb...@cornell.edu<mailto:rb...@cornell.edu>> wrote: This morning I spotted a flock of ~12 Tundra Swans near shore in the Ladoga Park Road neighborhood of Lansing. Probably the same flock that Donna Scott reported on Sunday. Mixed in with Canada Geese, mallards, and assorted winter ducks (I didn’t have time to sort through them). There were at least 12 swans, but maybe more (I didn’t want to trespass and get closer to the private docks).
