A swan sat on a road, injured by a freak accident. It had flown into a telephone line and crash landed. A policeman directed traffic around the bird. Later, an animal control officer took it away for treatment.
This species of bird, a mute swan, is aggressive. It attacks animals and people that infringe on its territory or get near its offspring. It displaces other species from feeding areas.
While snapping the photo, I felt sad for this mute swan. There is sat, helpless and humbled.
It's the same way with people. Everyone, no matter how dominant, eventually gets taken down a peg.
