Subject: [ia-bird] Mute Swans - Buchanan co : Not countable
Hi all!
I just wanted to let you all know that the Mute Swans on the lake at Swan
Lake Blvd in Independence are not countable as wild birds. A breeder is
hired by the landlord to place a domestic pair there every year to keep the
Canada Geese away.
