This blind date's for the birds: Jackson County, IA adopts new swan for breeding

http://qctimes.com/lifestyles/recreation/this-blind-date-s-for-the-birds-jackson-county-adopts/article_32d2db9e-18d2-5906-bef9-50e750bbe511.html


A new captive male swan, right, joined Ginger, a female swan, left, in late January at the Hurstville Interpretive Center near Maquoketa, Iowa. Jackson County Conservation staff hopes the birds will mate and raise cygnets, or baby swans, as part of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources' trumpeter swan restoration efforts.
