Nature Done Wright

I know that many are not big fans of swans, but I learned two things about them yesterday that I did not know  before.

   It appears the swan that left the Celery Farm on  Sunday
landed on a baseball field on Crescent Avenue near Borough Hall. And
landed rather sloppily, doing a bit of a somersalt.
   The swan attracted a lot of attention:
    * on account of the landing.
    * on account of the fact that it hung around and stuck out like a miniature snowman.
    * on account of the fact that it let people get closer than a swan ordinarily would without hissing like crazy.
   One neighbor was feeding bread to the swan, and many talked about what to do with the swan.
    The two things I learned (from the marsh warden) are that:
   1. when swans  land on land instead of water, they tend to land unceremoniously.
   2. if you feed a swan you think is injured, lettuce is better than bread.
   The one thing I did not learn is what became of the swan.
   In the meantime, check out these swan feet.
