Most of the swans left Juanita Bay several weeks ago. In mid-February, many park visitors were concerned about an apparently sick swan cygnet (young bird), whose family group of one sibling and both parents lingered with it.

Several swans remained in the Bay as of Feb. 20. Generally all leave before the end of February.
