You got to be 'swanning' me

During the rush hour commute on Monday, two swans were caught wandering along Route 41 in Highland Park.

Two swans ditched the pond for pavement and waddled into rush-hour traffic on Monday morning in north suburban Highland Park.

What we know:

The birds were spotted strutting toward the median near a puddle but couldn’t make it across because of the divider. 

Officer Mendoza responded and was able to remove them from the roadway.

No injuries were reported — to the swans or responding officer.

What's next:

The birds were later returned to their owner and are now back where they belong, safe and sound.
