Swan reported lingering in small area of open water near drain pipe on a frozen pond. Normally, at this time of year, the swans would be on the river. I went to investigate and then went back again the next morning. A friend and I pulled the swan to shore. Discovered a wound at least six inches deep in her side. She is now receiving the best of care up at the Center For Wildlife. I think of her every day.

  2. We have a pair of swans here on the Barrington River. It's nice to see them again after my sixteen year absence.

    Thank you for helping that swan. You were/are really in tune with nature.
