The swan disappeared within a half hour...not sure if the flock of geese it was with had left as well (There are quite a few resident geese there -hard to notice the absence of a couple dozen). Might have been the same group of mismatched travelers! -Colleen Troxler ----- Original Message ----- From: Harvey, David A.
