Native to North America, the Trumpeter Swan presented in previous posts, was eradicated from the province of Ontario by the late 1860’s as a result of over hunting for their meat, feathers and hides. Concurrently, European settlers began to bring Mute Swans to North America in the 1870’s for ornamental purposes, principally. The Mute Swan is now considered an invasive species in Canada, but due to human actions as opposed to the birds coming over on their own volition. Over time, their populations exploded, spreading beyond controlled environments into natural habitats where they began to outcompete native bird species such as ducks and geese for resources. This population boom can be directly attributed to insufficient regulation and monitoring of non-native species, again highlighting humanity's role in enabling their invasion.
So, Mute Swans did not displace Trumpeter Swans and are not responsible for being in North America. Calls for culling Mute Swans are unfair to this bird and very impractical because the population will keep rebounding. Demonizing Mute Swans as in saying they disrupt the environment for other native species or that they are aggressive toward other wildlife, dogs and humans might be just one of those time-tested tactics to seed dislike of the bird amongst the human population. Are Mute Swans an environmental problem in their native Europe and Asia with similar climate and ecosystems where they’ve been for over 6,000 years?
If there are significant ecological repercussions of this particular invasion, and there are countless other examples, that’s a clear evidence of our responsibility which serves as a reminder of how human introduction of non-native species can have unintended, long-lasting consequences. Considering the two birds share the same behaviours and eating habits, would this real or perceived ecological imbalance attributed to the Mute Swans be course corrected by replacing them with Trumpeters?
Since their introduction to North America in the 1870’s, Mute Swan population in Ontario grew to 500 individuals by 1985 and by 2012 had risen to 3,000 birds. Comparatively, the Trumpeters, introduced back in the Province of Ontario in 1982, grew to about 1,500 individual by 2015, already half the Mute population with the latter benefiting from a 500 members headstart. Notwithstanding Ontario’s reportedly ineffective population management of the Mute Swans, the growth in Trumpeter Swan numbers appears to be quite satisfactory in spite of the claims that they are being suppressed and bullied by the somewhat larger Mute Swans sharing the same habitats. Indeed, when observing large flocks of Mutes and Trumpeters gathered on the same limited areas of open water during the winter, I noticed significantly more inter-species squabbling than aggressivity between Mutes and Trumpeters.
So, despite the presence of Mute Swans, it appears Trumpeter Swans have been holding their own in their competitive natural environment. Considering the above, perhaps it would be best to consider the Mute Swan naturalized to North America, after all they were invited here, and do our own research before adhering to talking points from sources that may or may not have hidden agendas or influencing biases.
Mute Swans are gorgeous birds despite the negative press they are given.

Every year in late April I eagerly anticipate the return of the loons to our waters. Loons are monogamous, but they arrive back here separately and soon after both of them have returned they begin their mating and nesting season.
I might be biased but I think they are the most ravishing pair of Loons. The female is on the left and she isn't bold like the male. Usually she just takes a shy peek at me then dives under and away. Later in the year when the male has left the lake on one of his excursions (boys' night out) she spends time along my kayak and lets me take shots of her (providing she is not nesting) but for the most part she has no interest. After I took this pic the male floated along my kayak as if having an inflated sense of self (like people who take endless selfies) just before diving under to join his mate. The sun managed to make a brief appearance.....all in all, It was a good night! Haven't been back out yet because we are finally getting some well needed rain and snow. Good thing I planted half my garden. I started journaling the Loons this year because I joined the Bird Association due to a rescue of a sick female Loon (from the pair on the other side of the lake) that sadly didn't make it last year, they were very impressed with my knowledge and wanted me to document all the data They don't call me Loon Lady for nothing ;-)
A rework of M42 (and M43) as depicted using a 20cm Celestron Celestar 8 Deluxe Schmidt-Cassegrain catadioptric telescope and a f/6.3 focal reducer/corrector imaged by a Pentax K-3 II DSLR.
This was made by shooting 40 15-second exposures and 60 30-second exposures (all ISO 1600) with dark, flat, and bias frames (20 each).
The resulting exposures were registered and stacked using DeepSkyStacker with layer processing in GIMP and noise removal/sharpening with Topaz.

Bitterly cold up there and the wind was hell, but it was well worth it.

Original pictures were taken summer 2002 by my sister, and unknowingly double exposed by myself in november 2024.
This and the pictures posted over the next few days are an exploration of our past that has forced us to confront some difficult truths.

In this Hubble Palette version (SHO) the H-Alpha is mapped to green, SII is mapped to red and OIII is mapped to the blue channel. while the colors in this image are not the true colors, the narrowband filters used in the making of this Hubble Palette image reveal much more of the hidden gasses not visible in a broadband image.
Captured over 5 nights in January and February 2021 for a total acquisition time of 11.6 hours.

Spent the better part of the morning bushwhacking Falls Creek with my good friend Mike Karr in search of some of that elusive Fall color or any worthy comps. This is the third segment of the creek i have bushwhacked and will continue my trek upstream until I reach Falls Creek Falls.
Here's a waterfall that Mike and I came upon with much delight. You would never know this exists unless you were on the creek because you cannot see or hear it from the trail. The Fall color on the creek was pretty much a bust but there were some interesting parts of the creek to enjoy. Please click on the image to view large if you care to do so. Thanks for stopping by and having a look.
