And that is no joke. We were once dive bombed by a swan while
riding in the dinghy, apparentlly having gotten too close to a nesting
area. It was like having a 747 coming at us at close range.
As the article says, ducks and geese will not mess with a swan. Of

should now be called American geese since most of them haven't flown
north in years.

I hope you smashed some eggs.
