The Swan is Dead

We went back today and found the swan was dead about 50 or so feet south of the Thompson Bay Circle on Presque Isle.  It was laying in the snow.  It doesn’t look like the park did anything to help it.  Maybe they just let nature take its course.  There was no blood on the bird when we saw it yesterday or today when it was laying dead.  Maybe disease, starvation or age was the reason for its death.  I’m not sure if this was one of the pair that we saw often at Presque Isle.  If it is, we’ll really miss it.
