Having recently returned to full time residency in the Cloyne area, after many years as a summer resident and having spent my youth living in the area, I was quite surprised to see for the first time, Trumpeter Swans swimming on the river.  I believe this would be a sight any time of the year, but a shock to see three swans fly in, land, and spend the day exploring our little river in the winter.

Our river, depending on which map you look at, is known as both "Little Marble" and the "Mississippi" and is located at the foot of the Mazinaw. The center has been open due to the current, only freezing after last night's -24°. We hope the river opens again soon and our visitors return.
