Ironic Grace

BY JUANITA N. BAKER, PELICAN ISLAND AUDUBON SOCIETY

How graceful and elegant is the Mute Swan! We associate them
with music and dance. Partners for life, in mating rituals, they syn-
chronically swim. With S curved necks bending and turning, white
wings held tucked, yet feathers fluffed, they pirouette together,
dipping their heads in the water, and stretching their necks high, all
in sync. Then suddenly, they turn in the other direction, engaging
in a magnificent water ballet. Because of their beauty and grace,
humans in the 1880s introduced swans to lakes and ponds in city
parks. Mute Swans, native to Eurasia, had few natural predators,
and quickly spread southward along the Atlantic Coast. In Florida,
there are six confirmed nesting areas, and eBird.org shows sight-
ings along both coasts. Douglas Lange photographed this Mute
Swan in the reflection pool at Bok Tower Gardens, Lake Wales.
Mute Swans are voracious eaters. Males consume 35 percent and
females 44 percent of their body weight per day, primarily feeding
on aquatic plants. With their appetite, as an invasive species, they
may damage Florida’s ecology, particularly aquatic habitats. Along
with human-generated pollution, introduction of aggressive for-
eign wildlife adds to the destruction of natural habitat. Since these
swans tolerate being near humans and thrive in degraded habitat,
Mute Swans may end up displacing native bird species.

Elegant Shorelands home delights at every turn

BY SIOBHAN MCDONOUGH
Staff Writer

There’s an awesome view from each
and every room except the laundry
room in the beautifully-sited 4-bed-
room, 4-bath house and accompany-
ing 2-bedroom, 2-bath guest villa at
1365 Shorelands Drive North, in the
Shorelands community.

There is no shortage of lovely homes
on the barrier island, but this mag-
nificent two-story house is a standout
with its classic Georgian architecture
and elegant Palm Beach flair. Indeed,
classic and elegant are the two de-
fining styles and themes throughout
this 6,000-plus-square-foot home sit-
ed on 1.4 acres with a 260-foot seawall
along the Indian River Lagoon.

“It offers the best view to the south-
west in Indian River County,” said
Cheryl Burge, a realtor with Berk-
shire Hathaway HomeServices Flori-
da Realty who has the listing for the
$2,995,000 property.

pocket-screened doors to a balcony is
upstairs, along with another en suite

A pool is nicely protected on 2 sides
by the main house and the guest villa
to offer privacy. The landscaping is
uncluttered and a true celebration
of vibrant colors anchored by lush

The 2-story guest villa conforms
architecturally to the main house
and offers an ideal setting for a stu-
dio, guest cottage, live-in help or
mother-in-law suite. It features a spa-
cious kitchenette, family room, two
bedrooms with balcony and two full
baths. Bedroom dimensions are 15
feet by 12 feet.
