    Default Swans

    The Fashion and Style section of the Sunday NYT ran a story on how an aggressive swan attacked and nearly killed a couple who were kayaking too close to the nesting site.

    Back in April a man was indeed drowned to death by a swan.

    Of course we all know the story of Leda and the Swan. It's put out and get put out. What's a poor girl to do?

    There was a Swan in this.

    As soon as the Swan entered Phoenix he knew he'd never get away from Winslow.

    As a kid we were always told to be wary of swans "because they can break your arm"....
