Re: [cobirds] Mute Swans

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?
