Tundra Swan

On Saturday, Dec. 5th, I was driving through Crex on my way home from photo club when I spotted a lone Tundra Swan on Dike 1. I thought it was strange that it was all alone but really didn't give it much thought. Today I found out from toomanykayaks that it was rescued the next day and was found to be suffering from severe lead poisoning. I should have known better than to have ignored it. I have no further details other than what I just posted.
So just a reminder for anyone to notify your local DNR if you should spot anything out of the ordinary like this.

Mary walked across the ice to get it and fortunately did not break through. With enough of these birds being treated I hope there will be an effective treatment discovered. It's my impression there were more Tundras here this fall.
