When Swans Attack

So, today we went to City Park to spend some time letting Chance run around and generally have a good time. We stopped at an area with a lot of ducks and other water fowl. I had some crackers in the car so we walked over to the water and proceeded to feed the ducks. This was tons of fun for everyone, there were lots of ducks, some geese and seagull type birds. There were also two big black beautiful swans. They were eating our crackers and we were plesantly enjoying the day when one of the swans waddled out of the water and nipped Chance. It happened really fast, I grabbed Chance, Scott kicked the swan to make him let go and away we went. Chance cried for just a minute, I think he was more scared than hurt but he was ready to get in the car and go home. After we got home I was able to check Chance out more thorowly, he has a little mark that looks kind of like a hicky where the swan pinched him. Today we learned that swans have long necks and they can grab you even when you think you are far enough away, I jsut hope Chance isn't afraid of the ducks next time we go to the park because he enjoyed feeding them so much before, I will have to keep you all posted on that.
P.S. the swan was fine too for those of you who are interested. He walked away fine after the kick.
