A black swan, descendent of a pair of royal swans gifted to the city of Lakeland, FL in 1957 after a request from a native of Lakeland whose husband was stationed on an air base in the UK. Gliding across the city reflections of placid Lake Morton, as they do, with a pigeon on the grassy shore and two other much smaller birds in the water.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Reflections, any bird reflection; alt #Robins, any Robin will do.

One of the famed #swans of Lakeland, Florida, descendants of a gift of a pair of royal swans from Queen Elizabeth in 1957.
