Overview

• City officials say five of Stratford’s well-known swans remain unlocated after their sudden disappearance about two weeks ago.
• parks and forestry manager Quin Malott found that all six swans usually present were gone the day after a routine feeding with no physical traces left.
• Nearly a dozen residents reported seeing one swan in the city’s north end earlier this week, prompting a planned recovery effort on Thursday.
• Authorities have not determined a cause and note possibilities that include human removal or the birds moving on their own.
• Residents are being asked to report sightings directly to the city since the birds do not carry tracking devices.
