Hammes: Count Wolves Same Way

So what do they do when they aren’t counting dead birds? It is at no small risk that we even broach this subject. That is there is a danger this could all be misconstrued. So let the record show that we are unequivocally opposed to dead swans. Anything as beautiful as a swan should stay that way forever. Of course things don’t work that way. Swans die. By the hundreds every day. For a myriad of reason. Perhaps even from swan flu. Yet those deaths go unnoticed n and unreported. But if a swan dies for the wrong reason, then the dead-bird census workers magically appear to give us a body count/ Dan Hammes , St. Maries Gazette Record. More here.

Question: Do you agree with Publisher Hammes that there may be too much attention to the swan die-off in the Chain Lakes every year?
