I refrained from informing the man who was pontificating ..."these are called goslings"
that they are really called cygnets

traffic jam

sometimes, getting to the theatre can be a bit trying...
the swans think the road is a stage
and may leave the Avon River for Lakeside Dr

breakfast for one

While the swan sits on her nest, waiting....
the heron's wait is over 
score, one fishy thing, good to eat.

different swans





Look, more swans....

Contrary to popular opinion, feeding swans (and ducks) bread is a definite no-no. Bread is very bad for these birds, but a healthy corn mixture for feeding enthusiasts can be bought at several locations in town.










Several businesses had decorated swan topiaries which could be voted on for your favourite. This one was in memory of Angela who (along with her eggs) was brutally murdered last year by someone on a drunken bender. Such a senseless killing horrified the city of Stratford.

This one has been tartaned up for the piping in of the swans

feisty swans


The swans were ready to be released onto the Avon River in Stratford Ontario. After being in close quarters in their winter home, they were feeling a bit... erm, frisky.

see also VioletSky for more of the swans trip to the river.
