Trumpeter Swan ( Cygnus buccinator ) Sculpture

This huge 2700 pound stainless steel Trumpeter Swan Sculpture was erected in the harbour of Midland Bay / Town Dock in Midland, Ontario in October of 2001 by the Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre to pay tribute to the Trumpeter Swan, which the Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre bring back from near extinct but now there are currently just over 1000 individual Trumpeter Swans in Ontario with the help of the Trumpeter Swan Program. The Sculpture helped bring in a lot of funding into their reintroduction program as it brought awareness to the Trumpeter Swan near extinction

Random Swan facts:

Swans have 25 neck vertebrae – that’s almost twice as much as giraffes, who only have 13

Trumpeter swans presently number more than 5,000

Ontario - It's Where I live

Welcome to this blog, I decide to try something a little different then other blogs I have done in the last. This blog is going to be about the province I love, Ontario.

I grew up in it, where I live, where I always find time to travel these roads, highways, trails, rivers, lakes and streams.

In this post I figure I’d talk about a waterfall called “Webster falls” in Greensville, it is in the area of the city of Hamilton.

The Webster falls is 22 metres/72 feet high and 30 metres/98 feet wide. The water fall is fairly accessible so most people can at least get a view of it from the top and those a bit more daring can even take a short walk down to the bottom of it and walk under it which I had the pleasure of doing when I took the above picture. Just make sure you bring a swimsuit or clothes you do not mind getting wet if you plan and walking behind it.
