The picturesque wedding swan can now be legally shot in California year-round, without a license. Under a bill signed into law this month by Gov. Gavin Newsom, the mute swan has been added to the list of nongame birds that can taken or possessed at any time. Assembly Bill 764, by Jeff Gonzalez, R-Coachella, takes effect Jan. 1, 2026, and expires after five years.
