I believe the black swans were imported or otherwise acquired (from a breeder?). I was away from Nanoose Bay for 5 years and when I returned none remained. One of the adults for sure was killed by a sea otter.
@maxruth How sad. This isn't the 1st time I've heard of otters killing swans. Yet people think swans have no predators. I bet the cygnets, at least, were born right there in Nanoose Bay?
Very interesting video. I think that will please know that I included this video on the website of italian poultry "King's Hen House" (Il Pollaio del Re). Sincerely. VM
Fairwinds Golf and Country Club, Nanoose Bay, BC Canada. They own the pond at the rear of #2 green. Be careful. They need their space and can be nasty. When angered they have fearsome-looking eyes. Several years ago, the cob (male) ran after my spouse, pecking at her and made her fall backwards. She fractured her wrist in several places.
awww 'SQUEAK'

I understand that the cygnets ( born on the golf course) were later sold. Fairwinds golf course only harbours white swans now.
