The trumpeter swan, once nearly extinct, is doing quite well in LaSalle Park on the shores of Hamilton Harbour. These swans typically migrate but some prefer to overwinter here - with the help of handouts - before flying north in March.
The swans with the bright orange beaks are mute swans, a non-native specie, common along the shore.
The trumpeters are tagged with yellow labels to track their migration patterns.
