When we go south we always look for them along the freeway. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30584505.post-19550489178713736372017-01-01T15:17:18.210-08:002017-01-01T15:17:18.210-08:0028 April 2015 - Ontario: York Region: Humber River...28 April 2015 - Ontario: York Region: Humber River, 1.45 km SSW QEW/Humber River. 30M/11, 43.62125N 79.48036W TIME: 1838-1847. AIR TEMP: 15°C, sunny, calm. HABITAT: footbridge over Lake Ontario mouth of small urban river in wooded/lawnpark. OBSERVER: Frederick W. Schueler. 2015/079/f, Cygnus olor (Mute Swan) (Bird). 1 adult, seen, heard, kicked. I was aggressively approached by a maleish Swan which hissed and spread its wings, until I gently kicked it in the face, at which point it huffily swam back across the river. I've often wondered how combatative of these acculturated Swans might be, and evidently they're shy of being even moderately resisted.<br />Fred Schuelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02413290982310369659noreply@blogger.com
