MUTE SWAN DABBLING FOR FOOD, CRANBERRY MARSH, LYNDE SHORES CONSERVATION AREA, WHITBY, ONTARIO, 4/22/2024

   Swans feed by "dabbling", that is by staying on the surface of the water and not diving down for their food.  Plants are the majority of their diet, but they also eat small aquatic animals, such as fish, insects and invertebrates.
