the ugly gosling

There are a group of swans that winter in this river, and this year there is a lone Canada Goose living with them.  We could not believe our eyes the first time we saw a flock of swans flying over the house, making their interesting noise, and beside them, a Canada Goose, honking away.   Then a couple of weeks later, we saw him again, still here, flying with l swan this time.   His mates have left the country 6 weeks ago, and we guess he has been adopted by the flock of swans.
