WESTON, Mass. (WLNE) – One Massachusetts State trooper found himself rescuing two swans on the Massachusetts Turnpike.
Massachusetts State Police said on February 22, two troopers rescued a swan that was walking on the westbound side of the busy Massachusetts Turnpike.
The troopers were able to corral and protect the swan until Weston Animal Control arrived. The Animal Control Officer told State Police that the young swan must have miscalculated his landing and ended up on the highway, instead of in the river below it.
“Since swans need about 30 yards to take flight, and being a bit stunned, he was unable to get airborne with all of the traffic,” Weston Police wrote on their Facebook page.

On Water Street in downtown Boston, the sound of silence is deafening these days no office workers chirping into iPhones as they pursue their Starbucks fix, no unkempt men heading to the upscale barber, nobody chatting in what used to be the daily lunch line that stretched outside of Casa Razdora for its handmade pasta.
Which is why the cafe’s owner, Giancarlo Baldini, is standing at the door in his white apron rather than in the kitchen, gazing up from the barren street to the empty towers and sky above, as if seeking divine guidance on a question that has no good answer: How do you run a business without customers?
