  Duchess the swan in Polson Park (City of Vernon)A fixture in Vernon's Polson Park is on the mend after being injured
overnight Sunday Duchess the swan has been in the park for almost 25 years.
When she was found Monday with damage to a wing, possibly from an attack or a run in with a vehicle, the call went out for Ron Gibson. He's a city employee Duchess bonded with after loosing her mate 15 years ago. Gibson was able to help get her to a local animal clinic where she was patched up, then taken to another employee's farm to recuperate.A video of Ron Gibson discovering Duchess with her wing injury is located here along with photos of her: http://www.vernon.ca/swan/index.html
