Hi Jim and all, I have three records of Black Swan at Jamaica Bay:
13 Aug 2000 29 Aug 2009 2 Oct 2009 If this is the same individual reappearing on the East Pond in late summer at nine-year intervals, one must wonder where such a large, conspicuous bird could be hiding in between. In any case, this situation is an excellent reminder of the importance of recording observations of apparently wild non-native birds, even at a cost of gently abusing the Hot 100.
