A single black swan has taken up residency at Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge, 13 miles southwest of downtown Portland. The avian celebrity has captured the attention of bird enthusiasts and photographers from across the metro area who seek out the creature in the early morning hours. Birders and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife staff say it’s likely an escapee from a private collection or wildlife sanctuary. It’s also possible somebody didn’t want it and just dropped it off. First reports on social media show the swan cruising around the main refuge pond in early June.
