When I was a “yachtsman” my neighbour, in the late Spring/early Summer, had a young swan fly into his standing rigging. Sadly the cygnet died . The parent of the swan remembered what happened. The next day my neighbour was on his deck and the parent swan landed on his deck and the result was 7 stitches to the neighbour’s head. True story!
I won’t tell you (much of) the story of my ornithologist/biologist step-son bagging a moot swan at a nearby migratory bird sanctuary, cooking it in our oven, starting an oven fire, and leaving swan entrails all over my yard ten years ago – all because “it’s an introduced species and you complained I never make dinner”! Nasty birds nonetheless.
Good you left or you and your son could have had a broken arm each, they are that powerful. Beautiful birds but when defending their family they are mean and will keep attacking until you back off or run away.
A swan is just a goose with a better press agent *
Can’t say I feel sorry for you having to skip ONE WHOLE HOLE when your homies out in Calgary have been hard pressed to get even a single hole in ..in between all the wet.

Lorne,
At least the swan didn’t shoot first and ask questions later.
