RE: The Mute Swan, Beautiful and "Prohibited" in New York

I had no idea these swans were considered an invasive species! We have small numbers of them landing in the ponds in the wetlands around us during the spring migration. I think they have their babies elsewhere though because I've never seen little ones around.

Well they sure don't like them in California. I'm proud of my neighbors on Long Island for putting a stop to the killing.
By the way:
Every now and then I Google my name. I want to see if I have become completely invisible :) I received a surprise. One of my books, one that never sold a copy as far as I can tell (except the ones I bought😄) has ended up in the Smithsonian Libraries and Archives.

This doesn't mean anything to anyone but me. However, I think as a fellow author you can appreciate that I am tickled. I was always proud of that book and knew it would probably never find an audience (especially since it has color illustrations and is therefore expensive). As an old lady, I get great satisfaction knowing that at least with one person out there (whoever does the curating for the libraries) my book made the cut.
