Swan song......

Intro. Okay everyone, so today while in lunch a friend asks me about swans of all things (being that she knows that I adore my animal facts). So I tell her some basic information about swans: life span in the wild, diet, mating rituals, proper gender titles (Fun fact: Male Swans are called cobs and Female Swans are called pens. Baby Swans are cygnets), and standard species info. The thing I wasn't expecting her to tell me was that she saw an actual swan in her backyard just this morning. Now Swans are rather...well rare around this area....Southeastern Michigan isn't exactly known for "swan sightings". Of course I was surprised and she even showed me a picture she took. The crazy part about this? Just last night I had a dream that involved a trumpeter swan, a lake, a forest, and the most beautiful show of constellations ever seen! So basically I have no idea what my dream meant, my friend doesn't know either...........oh well!
