Good afternoon, birders, As I was riding my bike home from work this afternoon, in the pond on the SE corner of Belleview and DTC Blvd sat a solitary swan. I didn’t get a very close look at it, but, I’ve NEVER seen a swan in this neighborhood, and I’ve gone by that pond/fountain pretty much every day for 8 years.. Must have frown in during the day, because it certainly wasn’t there yesterday
I checked the guide books, and eBird for swan frequency . . . DANG, this would be a rare bird! Or, at the least, some kind of escapee. So I hopped in the car and drove back down. It was STILL there! I parked so I could get a photo. Didn’t need it. Cygnus plasticus. You can go visit it if you want; it doesn’t spook. Better birding!
