swans


this past weekend my mom surprised mike and i with a trip to lasalle park, overlooking the hamilton harbour in burlington.  she had recently learned that the once endangered trumpeter swans were being brought back to ontario by one dedicated individual.  the swans are tagged for tracking and research purposes.


my mom reported the first day they went to see the swans there were tons of them.  they sound something like this:



this curious fellow is a mute swan:


it was a special treat to spend some time with the swans and i hope to see more of them.

but not any black swans because that movie scared the crap out of me.

I loved the audio of the swans. If the swans danced as well as they trumpeted would they then be called ballet swans?
