Susan,

I last saw the Bewick in early-mid March. But near the end of March, it
disappeared. I wonder if it was banded? It came in for hand-feeding
regularly. I wonder if it came in with the 4 Mute swans.

Schoolhouse Pond also hosts a pair of Mute swans that alternately fly back
and forth to the Depot ponds. I video taped a territory/mating battle
between the 2 pair of Mute swans at West Depot Pond.

Hi, Fred;

I saw the Bewick's Swan there but I don't know if it was ever determined
whether it really is a Bewick's.  Was a consensus ever reached?  When did
the swan leave (I notice that you did not see him on your walk)?
