Somebody in southeast Minnesota doesn't like swans.
There's a farm outside of Wasioja with a pond and a single white swan swimming alone on it. A few years ago someone shot and killed the swan's mate. My mother-in-law tells me the lone swan is actually half of a second pair. A previous pair of swans had also been shot, with both birds killed.

| Usually, swans hide when someone approaches. This one welcomed company. |
 |
| I don't know if the swan is a cob (male) or a pen (female). Cobs are larger than pens. But it's hard to compare sizes when there's only one swan. |
 |
| After a few minutes, it did what swans do. |
 |
| I hope to talk to the owners to find out if they've tried to re-mate the swan, has the killer ever been caught, or what will happen to the swan when the pond freezes. |
 |
| Someday, I hope to come back and see the swan with a mate. |
