I bike to work and my commute takes me across Chain Bridge.  A  couple of 
weeks ago I thought I saw a swan swimming around in the water thats  entrapped in 
Chain Bridge flats (the area between the river and the  towpath).  The next 
day I brought my binoculars but of course, no swan to  be seen.  Yesterday 
(again without my binoculars) I saw the bird  again.  Definitely looks like a swan 
(unless it's a really big albino  goose??)but too far away for me to see 
distinguishing features.  Also, not  sure whether the sighting falls within DC or 
MD; it's not entirely clear to me  how the line runs through there.
