[Dnldhlt@xxxxxxx]

Hey Bryan,
     When I saw the trumpeter swan predawn last Thurs. it appeared to be 
feeding subsurface in the pond.  Surely its continued presence indicates its 
needs are for the moment being met, as it seems healthy enough to leave if 
necessary.  I agree that supplementally feeding it is not desirable.  Even if 
hunting them is illegal, mistakes are made, and it is made more vulnerable if 
it associates human activity with food.
