A Mute Swan visiting Dutch Gap's Wetlands has rows of fishing line wrapped around its neck and needs help. I watched it fly in yesterday at noon and it stayed near the first observation deck as you enter the Wetlands area. Can someone please contact an appropriate person or group to help this creature? I talked with Noel Losen, Chesterfield County Outdoor Program Manager, and he said he would try calling Audubon people so I am reaching out to this community. Below is a link to my Picasa album showing different views. The swan is friendly and will come up to people with treats or cracked corn ~. https://picasaweb.google.com/psmith926/DutchGapWetlandsSwan?authkey=Gv1sRgCLHDvrObhJn-gAE&feat=directlink . Pamela Smith
