Re: [cobirds] Mute Swans

Hi all

eBird seems to have/track Colorado reports of Mute Swan ... https://ebird.org/species/mutswa/US-CO and Weld County, https://ebird.org/media/catalog?taxonCode=mutswa&regionCode=US-CO-123&mediaType=p.

On my visit there last week, I was told by one of the Broadmoor guards that the Black Swans suffered an untimely death during the bad hailstorm that went through there a few years ago. They apparently "did not have enough brains to get in out of the hail" and were killed.  At least this is what this gentleman told me. He said the swans are some sort of trademark for the Broadmoor and get replaced pretty regularly for different reasons. So it looks like these swans are probably domestic.

 The Broadmoor Hotel had a Black Swan for a few years long ago. Beautiful but not wild either, unfortunately.

Question:
Since when have Mute Swans been counted anywhere in Colorado?

I saw the Broadmoor Mute Swans years ago and have never reported them on eBird. I have been seeing so many report them lately and have been tempted to report them, but have not. I know they belong to the Broadmoor.

The Broadmoor has had resident Mute Swans for many years, their birds, not wild.  For those who use eBird, if you "Explore Species" for Mute Swan in El Paso County, you won't see any sightings, though many of us have reported the Broadmoor birds, because they are not wild and, therefore, correctly not accepted by the eBird reviewers.  If you scan north from El Paso County, you will see many sightings from Arapahoe County north and then also some to the west that have been accepted.

I believe someone posted a couple of weeks ago that they are the Broadmoor's birds (they spoke with someone at the Broadmoor to find out).  They're still beautiful birds, though!

Today, Feb 8, I saw the Mute Swans at the lake at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, El Paso County. How do we know they are wild birds and not permanent birds at the Broadmoor?
