The male swan was found bleeding in the Fish Lake Wildlife Area south of Grantsburg, Wis., in late October and was taken to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Minnesota in Roseville, where it was treated before being released near Grantsburg Nov. 9, the St. Paul (Minn.) Pioneer-Press reported Friday.

Wallace said the two swans visit Hudson each winter and have previously raised offspring in the area. "He looks fantastic," Wallace said. "I knew he had been released in Fish Lake and he hadn't found his mate up there, so I was glad to see they were back (together)."
