Hello folks,

Mike Lippsmeyer asked a couple of us to pass on some relevant info
regarding the Whooper Swan report which was forwarded from Tweeters:

I included Mike's report on these clearly captive/escaped swans in the
Corvallis Audubon field notes at the time.

At the time, Mike indicated that these Whooper Swans had been recently
acquired by their owner, who had not done very well on fence-building.

Someone please pass this info on to Tweeters.

Good birding,
Joel
