swan which had evidently beeo injured spent a few days in the
backwater of the river at Alf Scotchmer's, Then it disappeared.
Whether it was a cob (a male) or a Pen (a female) was not
known. The yoting are called cygnets and are a grayish brown.
Theo a few years ago someone shot one .on the ice banks out
near the pier. Two teenage boys found it and brought it up
for Lucy to see.
Of course the poor bird met its tragic death through someone

Swans are pretocted by International agreement in the U.S.A.
and Canada.
Swans are easily distinguishable by their size and colour.
The adults all have Pure white wings .and .of course their long
necks. The' distinguishing marks of the species. • Miete Swan- the
only one with a knob at the base of the bill, female less -con-
spicuous and barely discernible in young; bill reddish orange;
immature pink or dusky blackish at the base (darker than that
of a young Whistling) sits higher in water than a Whistling
swan, neck gracefully arched with bill pointing down. It has
no call but cao hiss and is aggressive in defending its nest,
wiagbeats make a singing throbbing note, audible from afar,
This is a royal bird in England and 'ownership of it is con.
trolled by the Crown. Edward ry in 1482 declared, "no person
waatever except the King's son should have any - swans of his
own - ,,except he bath free hold lands to the clear yearly value
of ,five marks. This bird was introckided into the United States
and established along the. Middle Atlantic ' Coast. Whistling
Swan Canada's most beautiful bird, - the only: swan with a black
nobless bill with yellow spot at base in the adult, immature bill-
flesh coloured tip dusky lacks yellow spot at base (difficult
to distinguish -from immature Mute). Adult bird smaller than
Mute holds neck erect, bill horizontal; spends more time feeding
.with head under water than does Mute.Noice: musical whooping
and soft trumpeting "wow•wow»on" accented in middle, in chorus
sounds like a flock of Canada geese,: only more musical and
wavery. The voice is less deep and tar carrying than that of
the trumpeter swan. Breeds inAlaska and theCanadian low Arctic.
Winters mainly on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of the United
States frOni Washington to California and Maryland to North
Carolina.
Trumpeter Swans -similar to Whistling swan but longer, heavier
and slightly straighter culmen. Any native swanwitha total length
of 55 inches or more, a weight of.= or more pounds.and a folded
wing of 23 inches or more is apt to be of this species. No yellow
spot in front of eyes. Voice : deeper and more far carrying than
• that of the Whistling Swartr a loud trumpet like sligatly .gatteral
"ko-hoh" uttered singly or a number of times. All swans fly
with necks straight out so to the observer who knows the call
it is a sure identification. The Trumpeter Swan nests• in southern
Alaska, northern British Columbia, central-western Alberta,
a Oregon, Eastern Idaho, south-western Montana and Wyoming,
I formerly over a wider area. It winters in western British Columbia"

Swan eggs incubate in from 32 - 40 days.
The Mute Swan was more or less cin breed, in captivity and
in parks, etc. but someatouptzhay ',gone wild; 'and have been noted

As the Swans of Europe filled the legends of antiquity with
,? beauty and romance, so in the New World our native swans play
a similar role in the legends Of Eskimo and Indian.
'a •• It is the swans that, for unrecorded reason have been sacrificed
to the Great Manitou of the Niagara cataract; as it has been said
Indian Maiden-S'-were. sacrificed centuries ago to appease the
wrath of the angry waters.
Each year we read of them being swept over the Falls some.
times as many as 1,000 birds to meet death or injury. Some escape
and are carried over again. In the daytime as the swans drift
toward the falls, they takeoff and fly upstream to drift down again.
At night or when it is foggy, they are caught off,guardl It is their
custom to face into the wind and paddle over the water to rise. And
so they go against the strong current of the Niagara River and
their big webbed feet are useless as water , shoes.
If you are privileged to go to the Longpoint area to watch the
' Whistling Swans, you will be thrilled, also should you camp near
the marsh when migration is at its height, you will. probably be
deafened by all the news thousands upon'iliousands of the Swans
are telling each other as they arrive at this point en route to,
their 'summer homes - you know how it is with people, they often
sit up half the night getting caught up on news of family and friends.
So do_the Swans until almost daybreak!
Also, if you see them feeding with their bottom end;-up while
they stretch their long necks for roots and delicacies under
water, you'll see the rusty water line which the chemicals in
the water have left on their feathers. (Will it or will it not remind
you of chemical action on bathroom or kitchen fixtures at home)
After visiting, feeding and resting here, the big birds take off
in families or small flocks for the north in V formation similar
• to the wild geese. They will come down to feed along the lakes,
rivers,. marshlands on their way to the Arctic and northern
breeding grounds,.
