Trumpeter Swans at Aurora Arboretum pond...

Photos by Barry Wallace

 A pair of Trumpeter Swans  appears to have selected a spot to nest on the banks of the Aurora Arboretum large pond.   The swans are busy feeding but are also keeping their eyes on the spot they have chosen on the shore.   It seems to be the same spot they occupied last year.    A Red-winged Blackbird, below, was also eyeing the sight but was chased off by one of the swans, likely the male bird.
