The Milwaukee winter Mute Swan population of 5-10 birds (assuming your bird is
a Mute) has been comprised of a group from lower Michigan and probably
Wisconsin lakes and marshes that has wintered here since the 70's. The group
usually centers on a area from South Shore Yacht Club all the way south to the
end of the breakwater. This area has abundant Cladophora and mussels.

I'm not sure that this is worth reporting on or not, but I have never
seen a swan on the Milwaukee lakefront. If anyone is interested there
is currently (as of 4:30pm) a Mute Swan that has been swimming back
and forth between the small break wall in front of the art museum and
the break wall in front of Discovery World. It's been going back and
forth all day.
