This discussion prompted me to dig. I had a Black Swan at JBWR on
7/18/93. A write-in on the printed refuge checklist with notation,

As far as I know, the Black Swan has not been seen for quite a few years.
Cheers,

It’s likely that the Black Swan that inhabited the east pond has become too
regular to report, but I wonder if anyone can say he’s seen it recently.
