Last week the swan who was shot in Wisconsin was finally ready for release!  He needed to get outside so he could stretch and strengthen his healed wing, so he was released at a park preserve that is fenced in (no ground predators can sneak up on him) and supplied with food.  We call this a soft release. It gives him time to restrengthen his flight muscles while being protected.  Another swan that was with us was also released at the same time.
