It had tucked its head into its side but looked up a little bit for a photo. This is a mute swan, Cygnus olor. You may be familiar with the trumpeter swan, but this is actually a different species that is native to Europe. It was introduced to the US and can sometimes be aggressive toward native birds. However, right now this guy or girl is not being aggressive; just cold. Apparently it lost its mate, so not only is it cold but it is single right before Valentine's Day. I was told that it was hanging out in the lagoon down the road, but seems to want to sleep near the building. It's probably warmer near the building, so if I were a swan I would want to sleep there too!
