Peninsula of Michigan!

quick noontime walk among the Bryant Park hordes revealed an Orange-Crowned

Fred and any others interested,
Two mute swans by you is no problem. Up to 65 can be seen on any given day on
Argyle Lake in Babylon. It is a pond that is less than 1/4 mile in
circumference. All other breeding waterfowl here have been eradicated by these
swans. Some migrant waterfowl use th

First, kudos to Chris T-H for keeping order in our rangy group. A laudable
task, not simple.
Second, the fact that one invasive (Mute Swans) may be more of less destructive
than another (non-migratory “barnyard” Canada Geese) is a sensible question for

As everyone so far has contributed in good faith, and given that this listserv

sedentary / local, in some or all seasons.
