this guy poked his head in a boat i was working on and got my attention, he ate a whole piece of naples pizza..

the extra high tides put him at bulkhead level. I could see his right flipper was torn from the outside toe but still swam ok.

 

 

 

Lucky you have them,in salem county the state came in and shot 60 mute swans last month"just in case they might have bird flu"...........all tested where negative.

What made them think swans had bird flue?

Director Larry Herrighty said this week that approximately 55 swans were shot and killed in recent months for the dual purpose of population thinning and species sampling for avian flu.

 

My old dog use to love chasing ducks and geese off shore and back into the water. He would always come trotting back with a look of satisfaction after. One day he ran after a mother swan with a few young. When she stood up, spread her wings an hissed he could not stop fast enough to turn around. It was like watching a Scooby Doo cartoon. He dug his feet in and tried to stop and turn. Tail between his legs as he ran behind us to hide. Funny as hell.

We have a few around the marina and sometimes they will chase after you if you go by in a small boat or jet ski.
