Directions to the boardwalk where the eagles' nest & swans can be viewed:
>From Hwy 403 in Hamilton, either east or west bound, exit Hwy 6 north.
Exit at Old York Rd at the foot of the escarpment. You'll be facing south at
stop sign at the end of the exit ramp. Turn right (west) following signs
towards the Dundas business district.
>From Old York Rd turn left (south) onto Old Guelph Road at the first stop sign.
Turn right into the RBG Arboretum entrance about 1.5 km south of Old York Rd.
(An entrance fee is required for non-members to RBG natural areas)
Park at the far west side of the road ring and walk south towards Cootes
Paradise, through the Lilac Dell to Captain Cootes Trail. Head west (to the
right) staying next to the water till you come to the boardwalk out into the
marsh (about 1000 metres).
Good luck everyone.

Quite the sight, is it not? I was on site today. Easily the most Tundras I have
seen outside the Aylmer WMA. Certainly a good time to go out and try to get a
high count for the HSA if you wanted to!
Also, Wood Duck still at LaSalle. Lesser Scaup,Coots, Surf and WW Scoter. All 3
Swans (no Bewick's though lol).
Large congregation of Robins eating apples and berries on Costco property in
Burlington too! :) Why not combine your needs for a 4 gallon drum of mayonaise
with a few incidental bird sightings??

Just a note that the Tundra Swans are still there this afternoon! Did some
quick counts and there seem to be at least 2,000 there. The group is huge and
is at least a kilometer long.

Hi all.
There were well over 1,000 Tundra Swans and about as many Canada Geese
loafing in the back end of Cootes Paradise this evening. There were also many
in the air moving north.
The eagles nest is also easily seen from the boardwalk. One bird sitting
on the nest the other perched above it. At the same time a young eagle past to
the west on the south side of the marsh.
