Media notes
I call this Swan 1 as it appears to e the dominant swan, displaying, chasing after Canada Goose that get too close, and the other two swans follow it. I believe it is also a female. Will check the size of the knob on the top of the mandible next time I am there.
Observation details
I believe these are all female. I have heard that only female Mute Swans can be purchased and released on private ponds and they must be pinioned. Technically, they don't count. The two "new" swans appeared some time in 2022. The older one was part of a pair but one swan was killed by an animal several years ago.
