Hi, all-

A friend new to the area remarked on seeing a Mute Swan in Bedford 
Basin. There has been at least one swan in the Basin for years, and I 
have a feeling that there may have been up to three at one time.

I was wondering about the history of this. When were they first seen? 
Are any of them pinioned? Were any offspring ever produced, to anyone's 
knowledge? How many are there now - just the one? Are they there in the 
summer? Do they travel to other areas? Are there wild (or escaped) mute 
swans in other parts of eastern North America?

Thanks for shedding any light on this.

Peter Payzant
