I haven't seen it, but I mentioned the Swan that is being seen at
Schoolhouse Pond this morning to someone who would certaily know about
these things, and she suggested that the swan may be from a captive
breeding/reintroduction program in Canada. Info can be found at the
following web site, and the Swan can be reported there as well:

The yellow wing tag with a 3-digit number seems to fit this program's
customary methods, though I am not sure if others also use these
particular tags.
