Kayaker drowns after swan attack
 
This is easy to believe having once been dive bombed by an adult swan
while dinghy riding in Hamburg Cove near the Connecticut River, and
having a chip taken out of the gel coat on one of out old sailboats on
another occasion. Swans are beautiful to look at but are very
territorial and nasty tempered.
