According to the Google machine, a group of swans can be called a bevy, a wedge, a herd, a bank, or a flight. Since this family looks to be "grazing", they would then be referred to as a herd. There was one other just out of frame.
I took this picture while stopped at a red light the other day on my way to the mall. Seems Fiske Pond in Natick has always had swans or at least for as long as I can recall.
The route I take to the mall is the same one I take when visiting my aunt and uncle in Framingham, so I've passed by this pond often over the past year and have watched as a spring time pair of swans arrived, built a nest and raised their young, pictured above.
All this by passing by this area in short snapshots. It's one of the only red lights that I don't mind getting stuck at or in a hurry to get through.
