At Central Park's (Manhattan, N.Y. City) reservoir, the 3 swans-a-
swimming were further & definitively ID'd as Mute Swans; they'd moved
across to the n.e. part of the reservoir by mid-afternoon. On the

I'm in need of some assistance in IDing a feather. A friend sent me this
photo and asked what it was. My first couple of guesses seem to be way off
given habitat and a quick search of online bird images. I won't share my
thoughts on ID so as to not influence the masses or embarrass myself :)
