The Lagerman Mute swans are ornamental birds placed on that pond by humans.   They both have fairly obvious metal bands on their legs. Alex BrownBoulder On Wednesday, February 10, 2021, 06:44:57 PM MST, 'William Fink' via Colorado Birds wrote: I just want to ask the same question as

I just want to ask the same question as Ira Sanders re Mute swans -the mute’s at Lagerman are constantly being reported to ebird and I have never seen them anywhere else besides swimming placidly around on their farm pond-does anyone think these are wild birds? Thanks Bill Fink. Longmont Sent

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. Cinnamon Bergeron On Tue, Feb 9, 2021 at 4:11 PM 'Jim Nelson' via Colorado Birds

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,

For a change of pace, read the news about a Mute Swan that is attacking and destroying model boats in England, where model boat clubs take their expensive hobby as seriously as model train clubs take theirs in this country. I’m not sure whether this swan is owned by QE2, , as some are, but

COBirders, Checked out Lower Latham and Beebe Draw this afternoon. Most interesting find was a pair of Mute Swans in one of the large ponds on County Rd. 48 between 43 and 47 roads (photographed.) Another flooded field along 48 held a couple of Long-billed Dowitchers plus the usual suspects. A
