This is the only swan left in City Park. She is a four year old daughter of Mamma and Papa Swan.
Swannie and her sister lived mainly in the little lake behind the Museum of Art. Mamma and Papa Swan banished them when the new cygnets were born in May, 2005.
Three weeks following Hurricane Katrina when the water subsided in the Park Swannie was the only swan I found. She remained in the Park and in Bayou St. John surrounded by geese and ducks. She seemed to be always searching and appeared very lonely.
