[Tweeters] Swan -Union Bay

[Martha Jordan via Tweeters]

Hi all,
   Yes, I am aware of the Tundra Swan who has moved to Carp Pond from Canoe
Island. Yes, it is a Tundra Swan. It is very likely it is sick. That said,
it is still too lively to attempt a capture in this tricky, muddy location.
    Please report your sightings directly to me:  text to 206-713-3684 or
call me.
    At this point in time WDFW and I will be monitoring the situation.  If
you observe the bird over the next day or so, please let me know the
location, and what it is doing: sitting, standing, feeding, head tucked,
shaking head, bill gaping or any other behavior.
    If you find it dead, DO NOT TOUCH.  WDFW has protocols for picking up
dead waterfowl. I am permitted to pick it up and have the gear to do so.
Please call me immediately and let me know.  Avian influenza is still out
in the wild population and this is a precaution.
    Thank you all for your assistance.

Martha
