Thank you for reporting K09 & 038 at Williams Lake, (Chatsworth), in May 2013.

K09 was caught by me at Bluffers Park on March 2, 2013 and banded by Julie Kee and I. He was a wild adult male at the time of banding.
April 15th he was seen in Port Credit with 038 and April 17-21 he and 038 were at Lake Aquitaine, Mississauga. That is the last sighting of them until your report.

038 was hatched in 2007 to captive parents that were part of the restoration program. She was tagged at her home pond, then left her parents in early 2008 to visit Bronte Creek and LaSalle Park in Burlington. She then spent the next 4 years around the Toronto waterfront, frequenting Post Credit the most. At one point she was paired with male E90, but he disappeared and she has been alone until K09 caught her eye.

Hello Sabrina and Kyna. Just wanted to give you an update on K09 and 038. I am happy to report that the pair are doing well and are currently residing at Williams Lake (near the village of Chatsworth) about 30 minutes south of Owen Sound. They have been here for a couple of weeks now and seem very content to stay. They are real characters and very bold around people. Its been a real honour having them around. I am however feeling concerned about the pair staying as very soon this lake will become extremely busy with boat traffic. Meanwhile, I am doing what I can to educate the residents on the importance of these amazing creatures.

I will continue to keep you posted on their where-abouts.

Hi Jan: Thank you for reporting L83 at Newmarket on April 17, 2013. L83 is a female cygnet of A02 & 909, hatched 2012. She came to LaSalle Park in Burlington for the winter with her family, where she was banded and tagged. After leaving LaSalle, she stopped by at Bluffers Park in Toronto for a short while.

Hi Dave: Thank you for reporting 162 at Oro- Medonte Line 8 on April 27, 2013 with an untagged bird.
162 was hatched in 2007 to parents 824 & 108. He was banded at the Wye Marsh Feb 2008. Since then he has been coming to LaSalle Park in Burlington for the winters. This past winter he arrived with only one wing tag and then lost the second one. But we were able to catch him and replace his tags so that he could be reported once again.
Are the pair of birds still at the same location?

Hi Sean: Thank you for reporting J84 on May 5, 2013. Could you provide a GPS location for your sighting? This is a good website to find that information: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html
Is J84 still at your lake?
J84 is a male, hatched in 2011 to 902 & 131. All 10 cygnets that 902 & 131 brought to LaSalle Park in Burlington that winter were tagged J80 – J89, during December 2011. J84 spent this past winter at LaSalle again.

Thank you for updating us on J83’s location. Both J86 & J83 spent the winter at LaSalle Park along with a number of their siblings. At LaSalle they were both courting a tagged female swan. But I guess that romance was short lived.
