Mute Swan is a member of duck, goose and swan family from northern and central Eurasia. They have also been introduced in North America to grace ponds, lakes water parks and estates. Descendants of such birds have naturalized in the eastern United States and the Great lakes.  Although the name is mute swan but it is a sort of misnomer because they are not mute, rather quieter than than other swans. Due to their sheer size, reddish bill and white plumage, mute swans remain as the most unmistakable waterfowl at the close quarters.

They have an all white body, long and curved neck, black face and orange bill. They make their nests on large mounds in shallow waters either in the middle or at the edge of a lake.
