The Swanboats Have Arrived

This morning walking across Boston Common I saw them unloading the swanboats from a big Budget Rental truck.  Glad I knew what that was, from a distance it just looked like a multitude of really big-*ss birds getting ready to take over the world. (I googled for the collective word for "lots of swans", like a gaggle of geese or a murder of crows, but I came up empty).

Once I saw the swans I also noticed that people were out painting the park benches and cleaning up the grass.

It may have been a cold day, and it just snowed yesterday.  But spring's coming.  You can see it if you look for it.

Seems like "A bevy of swans", "A bank of swans" or flying) "A wedge of swans" are options (http://www.ucgc.org/terms-for-collections.htm)

Still not as cool as a murder of crows though!
