Kayaker Slain by Swan

With the ice out, and warming conditions the kayaks are out.  Been seeing them traveling on the top of Subarus running up and down the highway lately.

Haven't seen any in the water - but that's another matter altogether.

Since the kayak season is now upon us please be safe and avoid dangerous, mute swans.

Here is a tragic story of a man in a kayak drowning after being attacked by a swan.

Ironically, he was employing dangerous, invasive swans to chase way nuisance geese.

In prior years the DNR has been proactive about controlling populations if non-native mute swans only to draw the wrath of the shoreland gentry.

That's too bad. 

Maybe if a few more kayakers are killed by the swans the gentry will come to their senses?
