‘Oh,
lonesome me …’
A black-necked swan brought last week to Sun Valley Lodge to reside
in a newly remodeled waterfowl pond found comfort in a mirror provided by
the managers of the property. The bird, which lost its mate recently
while residing in southern Idaho, spent its entire first day in Sun Valley
staring at itself in one of the lodge’s entryway windows, apparently
believing that its own reflection was the image of its lost love.

devoted mates and parents. Express photo by Willy Cook
