ORLANDO, Fla. — Lake Eola now has a flock of new swans swimming in its waters.
Park staff introduced six new swans to the lake on Monday, Aug. 26.
The three pairs of swans, including Australian Black, Whooper and Trumpeter, will acclimate in a designated pen before joining more than 50 swans already populating the lake, city officials said.
