Sun City West - Swan Program  As you  pass by some of our golf courses you may notice the beautiful white birds that grace the lakes on our courses. Our swans contribute to the beauty of our surroundings and have even been the subject of a children's book written by one of our residents. The population of our family of birds is constantly changing as new baby swan (cygnets) are introduced by their parents and nature takes its toll on the older ones.    Please take care and do not feed the swans.  Because of their long graceful necks, bread and other items make them choke easily.   Please enjoy! 08/05/2012
