I can comfort myself knowing he didn’t die of starvation.Jennanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-38036516928027591142018-11-25T21:32:25.765+00:002018-11-25T21:32:25.765+00:00I think the swan may be suffering from botulism.

The organism, <i>Clostridium botulinum</i>, is always present in small amounts at the edges of lakes and ponds, and waterfowl can tolerate low levels of it. But the hot summer caused it to multiply, and we are still seeing the results. There is a Canada Goose with similar symptoms.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-81096822134962477132018-11-25T20:59:09.567+00:002018-11-25T20:59:09.567+00:00You get to see all sorts of interesting things at ...You get to see all sorts of interesting things at the park.<br /><br />Poor swan. It really looks very ill. Has it got any broken bones? Thank God for the super-excellent folks at Bluebird Boats.<br /><br />I loved the clip of the busy feeder. I am sure that the small birds are grateful for Ralph's ingenuity and providence.Tinúvielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794275230697959519noreply@blogger.com
