Remember when the two families of swans (apparently named the Monsters and Honeybears) living in Prospect Park became territorial and waged war upon each other? Well now they're playing nice! The Brooklyn Paper has a report from the lake, saying they've welcomed two new swans to the flock. One regular visitor of the feathered friends opines, “They’re just trying to make the best of the winter. They’re in it together.” While this might be the most amount of swans that have ever peacefully lived in the lake together, the paper notes "the highest population on record from 1900 to present day in Prospect Park was in June of last year, when both the Honeybear and Monster families still had their broods intact."
