Mute swans Boulder County

[William Fink]

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

The Lagerman Mute swans are ornamental birds placed on that pond by humans.  They both have fairly obvious metal bands 

on their legs.

I think that everyone is well aware that these two are pets. I doubt they can fly.
