Swan eating fish!

In our area the first time I saw this behaviour was in '14 towards the end of a brutal winter that saw our Great Lakes frozen at 97% of all surface area. Many birds were starving and I was going to the river almost every day and one day I observed this Swan checking out a dead fish floating. To my surprise it began to eat it. Within a week others were including the Mallards and Geese. Some just kept doing it.
