The mute swan (Cygnus olor) is a species of swan and a member of the waterfowl family Anatidae. It is native to much of Eurasia, and (as a rare winter visitor) the far north of Africa.
Habitat of the Mute Swan. These massive birds inhabit many of the same habitats as other waterfowl. That includes lakes, estuaries, ponds, bays, rivers, streams, marshes, wetlands, and coastal seas. They are also quite adaptable animals, which make them very successful, even outside of their native range.
This swan swims with its long neck curved into an S and often holds its wings raised slightly above its back. Although they’re numerous and familiar in city parks and in bays and lakes in the Pacific Northwest, Great Lakes, Northeast, and Midatlantic, Mute Swans are not native to North America.
Habitat. The adaptable Mute Swan can be found in aquatic habitats ranging from urban lakes and farm ponds to coastal estuaries. In the Pacific Northwest and from New England south to Virginia, Mute Swan pairs choose fresh, brackish, and saltwater ponds as breeding sites.
