Reporter here — what are your thoughts on birds on Toronto's beaches?

My name is Maeve Ellis and I'm a reporter with the Investigative Journalism Foundation, a newsroom based in Toronto. I'm currently analyzing data which suggests a stark decline in the number of waterfowl on Toronto's beaches.

With this in mind, I'd love to hear from Torontonians about your thoughts on the geese, swans, and ducks on Toronto's beaches.

Do you like watching them while you hang out at the beach? Do you find them annoying and are happy there are less of them? Have you noticed a change in how many of them there are over the years?

If you have any thoughts on this (rather specific) topic please reach out by DM-ing, emailing me at maeve.ellis@theijf.org, or IG messaging me at maeveellis_. I'd be grateful to hear from you today to meet my deadline.
