Saw a Mute Swan at Swim Lake in SE Douglas County last Friday evening. It was still there this late afternoon (Sunday) when I checked again. Swim Lake is south of Osakis, MN. It is visible (northwest quadrant) from the I94 Exit to Osakis, but is better seen by going into town, going south past the sewage ponds (see Eckert, p.80) and continuing to the edge of Swim Lake. (The sewage ponds had Lesser Yellowlegs and two Wilson's Phalaropes.)
