Mute Swans are not indigenous to this area, but there are some that arrived over 100 years ago. Over the past year I’ve seen photos of Mute Swans in a few places in BC, but the only place I’m familiar with is Lost Lagoon at Stanley Park. I love watching the graceful white birds floating in the lagoon. Last year I had read the parks board was considering letting this swan population dwindle out, to allow birds that are more native to the area to settle in. It would be a shame not to see them anymore.

They are so beautiful :-). And I always feel delight when I see them. But then I feel sad that they can’t fly and that their eggs are destroyed every year. I didn’t know they couldn’t fly until I read one of your posts on them last year. And then I learned about the swan whisperer. I actually saw her feeding the swans one day. A very sweet interaction. Thanks for sharing your lovely photos.

Thank-you for your comments … and for stopping by my blog! I agree that it is sad that their population is so controlled. But at least they have a beautiful home, and nice people to feed them!
