Lake Erie Nature and Science Center has found a new home for a black swan rescued by the Coast Guard. According to a Coast Guard Press Release, personel from the U.S. Coast Guard Station Lorain, rescued the swan that was stuck in the ice near the Black River Railroad Bridge Sunday afternoon. The black swan was safely recovered and transferred to the Lake Erie Nature and Science Center. You can see a photo of the rescue at this link to the Coast Guard website.
Wildlife staffers (including Derek Skapes who's pictured holding the swan) were initially told that the Coast Guard was bringing in a rescued wild goose. By permit, our Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Program is limited to rehabbing wildlife. That's why we immediately found a safe and appropriate home at a Northeast Ohio farm equipped to care for domestic waterfowl.
