The Ugly Duckling

There is a strange duck-goose-swan that has taken up residence on our lake.  I don't know which she is.  She swims around the lake alone.  Maybe she is injured and can't fly out.  I have never seen anything like her. She quickly swims up to any human who gets close to the lake.  She is tremendously friendly.  I went down to the lake this evening and sang to her to see if she would come closer to me so I could diagnose who she is.  She liked the songs I sang because she swam back and forth very happily but kept her distance.  I am falling in love with this bird.  She is like some strange spirit that has taken up residence on the lake at Oak Haven.  She is mysterious, precious and illusive.  I have called her Grace.
