A flock of at least 70 Tundra Swans is present in the Ellice Swamp north of
Stratford off Perth County Road 44. Also in the water there are 24 Pintail
and a pair of American Widgeon (along with the ubiquitous canada Geese and
Mallard Ducks). Even though the domesticated swans cannot yet be released
into the still-frozen Avon River in Stratford, wild, migrating birds are
finding open water elsewhere to settle. In the fields south of the road in
the same spot as the swans were four species of raptures - Rough-legged
Hawks, Red-tailed Hawks, a Harrier, and mating Kestrels. Also in Northeast
Hope Township, (Road 109 south of 45th Line) appeared my first Bluebird of
the season.
