An Unlikely Visitor Part Two

The swan stayed around the bay for just a week; fed mightily on our abundant seaweed, and then last Monday, as I was taking this picture it swam off and didn't return for days.

 

Black Swans are not wild birds in our hemisphere. They're called "exotics" and are usually seen in zoos or  private collections.

Here's what Wiki has to say about them:

We determined that our swan was either an amazing long distance flyer or an escapee.

As the days went by, we figured that he had flown away. But Friday, low and behold, he swam by the house! We saw him briefly heading south yesterday as well. Apparently he has found  a calmer bay or better seaweed. But at least he's around and hasn't been captured.
