Wellington Harbour is just fine for them during the winters.
These swans are regular stay-overs in West Lake in front of the Wellington liquor store.
A channel there opens right onto Lake Ontario, yet small sand dunes along the sides of the channel protect this area somewhat from the fierce winds.
This spot is also the last area to freeze on West Lake, so you can view and photograph many different fowl such as Mallards, Buffleheads, Canadian Geese and even Snow Geese during the coldest months. A few years ago, sitings of these birds was very rare. Now the flocks are growing in size yearly.
You can see why I say it takes me so long to cycle. I have to stop and start continually to photograph many things before I die.
Hunters - put down your guns, go grab your camera,
and come shooting in our village.
