Jeanne, these mute swans have been known to ODFW to be at this location for at least 3 years. They were displaced from a piece of property upstream by native swans. Both of the swans have had their wings pinioned and the male has been neutered therefore the chance of them reproducing is nill and they can not fly to any other location. Thank you for your report!
