How long has there been a mute swan there??  I hope everyone knows this is =
an alien and nasty species that deserves not to be encouraged.  And recall =
the very sad history of mute swans in Bedford Basin and mouth of Sackville =
River several years ago.  First there was one=2C then someone felt sorry fo=
r the lonely single swan and carelessly and illegally released another one=
=2C leading to several years of reproduction there.  How was it that author=
ities like the Canadian Wildlife Service never heard about this until it wa=
s much too late.  Please keep everyone informed=2C birders=2C about any sig=
htings of mute swans and their numbers and locations.  Cheers from Jim in W=
olfville.
