Peers Wetlands!

I always enjoy walking at Peers Wetland near Wallaceburg. A well-monitored Martin House has attracted several pairs of Purple Martins.

Purple Martins are our largest Swallow. Males are a glossy-blue colour.

The brown-coloured female is holding a piece of nesting material as her mate approaches.

Mute Swans have been nesting regularly at Peers Wetland for a few years.

We found 2 families, one with 4 cygnets and the other with only one.

We saw a total of 6 Great Blue Herons, well hidden in the trees.
