Last week about night fall, Duh wifey saw something and called me to the sunroom. But it was getting dark and you really could see it very well. But one thing stood out, It long neck and was dark all over.
She asked me what I thought it was and I told her the neck line looked like a swan. Problem was,, it wasn't white.
Then a few days later it was back again. This time I got a good look at it and shore enough, It was a Swan, aBLACK Swan at that. I've never seen or heard of a "Black" Swan.
When it took off flying I seen it had white tipped wings.
So I though. off breed swan.
So I went and Gooogled Black Swan and found one website that describe it perfectly.
It was an Australian Black Swan.
The sex cannot be determind unless you see more than one. Apparently Males are much larger than Female. But this one being alone. we have nothing to compare it too. It is on the small side so it must be a young one.
Below are pictures of the Black Swan that apparently made a wrong turn some where and ended up here. It hangs out with the geese, but chases them all over the lake.
