I don't know much about swan behavior but having it stay in the same small
largely iced-over pond for 30 days seems odd. Don't they usually pass through
in a few days at most?
Just curious if anyone has thoughts or has experienced such an extended stay
from a single bird?
Regards,

I will echo that question. I was just having a discussion with my husband about
the exact same scenario! It does seem kind of odd for him to have not moved on
yet. Hopefully he's ok and just enjoying his winter digs ;)

A look at records in eBird (just a subset of the CO story, of course, but
easily viewed) shows other occurrences of individuals or multiple birds
lingering in January, or from January into February (and a smattering of
records spread across the winter months). So there is precedent for winter
linge
The main issues are probably open water and food. Why would the bird leave if
both are available. When I watched the Chatfield bird about a week ago, it
appeared to be finding plenty to eat.
