A San Francisco icon is now flying with angels 💔
Blanche the Swan, a fixture of charm and elegance at the Palace of Fine Arts, died Thursday, Jan 12 at her estate in Sonoma County. She was 28 — about 118 in waterfowl years.
"She was amazing. She loved people. She loved children. She thought anyone near the edge of the water was there to see her. People were mesmerized by how social she was," Hagerty said. "Their courtship ritual looked like a minuet. They walked in a circle on land, turning their heads in unison and touching their chests together before making a heart shape with their beaks," recalled Hagerty.In 2001, Blanche's brother Mortimer became incensed after a territorial dispute and killed his own father and attacked his mother. He and Blanche's sister Knuckles, now a couple, were relocated to a farm in Pt Reyes.
When Blue Boy passed away in 2021, Blanche remained at the Palace as a widow. But after concerns of avian flu began to proliferate in 2022, she bowed out that summer to live in the countryside with her son Stanley.
