Tundra Swan
Well-Known Member
Dear Fellow Waterfowlers:
I have posted a cover letter that is addressed to Mr. Toby Barrett (MPP, Haldimand-Norfolk) dated March 08, 2022 regarding the establishment of a limited (tag only) Tundra Swan season for the Province of Ontario which is self-explanatory. The subsequent eight (8) parts, four (4) addendums and one (1) side bar have recently been submitted to Mr. Toby Barrett as well as to the other individuals identified under the c.c. list of this letter.
The subsequent eight (8) parts are:
Part 1 - History of Swan Hunting in Ontario
Part 2 - Introduction of Tundra Swan Seasons
Part 3 - Tundra Swan Population Dynamics
Part 4 - Trumpeter Swan Population Dynamics
Part 5 - Allotment of Tundra Swan Tags
Part 6 - Distribution of Tundra Swan Tags
Part 7 - Subsistence Harvest of Tundra Swans
Part 8 - Who is Stopping a Tundra Swan Season
I based the contents of these eight (8) parts on some historical facts regarding swan hunting, the Migratory Birds Convention Act (Canada), the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (United States), the Management Plan for the Eastern Population of Tundra Swans, the Management Plan for the Western Population of Tundra Swans, the overall Management Plan for Trumpeter Swans and information published in several waterfowl magazines.
The subsequent four (4) addendums and one (1) side bar are:
Addendum A - The CWS Contribution to a Tundra Swan Season
Addendum B - The Delta Waterfowl Contribution to a Tundra Swan Season
Addendum C - The OFAH Contribution to a Tundra Swan Season
Addendum D - An Introduction to Swan Identification
Side Bar - The Ducks Unlimited Canada Position
I have previously posted these eight (8) parts, four (4) addendums and one (1) side bar on another thread "Sandhill Cranes and Tundra Swans" for your due consideration regarding a future Tundra Swan season for this province. I am currently considering other options in the event that the Province of Ontario fails to act upon my request. Thank you for your continued support regarding this issue.
