Trumpeter Swans Part 4


Sad news from the swan world. Two of the new young swans released by the Game and Fish Commission and others were victims of some kind of wild animal attack. The remains were found in the field behind the pond. Speculation is that it was either a bobcat, river otter, or coyotes. I saw the three remaining swans this morning swimming on the pond enjoying the sunshine and warmer weather. Hopefully, they will make the winter without harm. Nature is often cruel.
