Lone Swan Visits Beaver Creek Lake


Today, Sunday, November 9th, a lone white swan sailed around Beaver Creek Lake in the brilliant sunshine under a blue blue sky.

No one at the lake had seen a swan visit before. There are two swans at Lake Pine. And several swans I hear near Whole Foods at Tryon and Kildaire Farm Road. But this is the first time we'd seen a swan here.

"He won't stay long," several people said, "not when the Canadian Geese return after their daily forrays. There are over 250 geese who make this little lake their home. Too many one resident says. Hopefully some will split off and find another home.
