Hey tweets,

Just passing along a comment from Ruben Stoll that I was asked to share
here:

(Keep in mind that this was around 8:00am and it sounds like the swan is
back in it's usual location as of 9ish)

"There are no swans present at dawn this morning. There is, however, a
farmer who says he doesn't want to see any vehicles parked anywhere off the
road on his property today at all. There really isn't a shoulder along this
road so folks have been pulling over at road entrances and grassy shoulders
where it's now quickly turning to mud. He also says there won't be any
swans around here for very long, he's going to see to that. He says they're
nothing but a nuisance under the best of circumstances. We tried our best
to work out some kind of an agreement but last I heard he's still getting
rid of the swans. Sorry folks. We're just gonna drive these roads for now
and see what we can figure out. It's possible that the swans have already
been disturbed and relocated."

Good birding, Alex Sowers
