Wildlife biologist Mike Smith fills out a log after scaring away trumpeter swans landing on adjacent Judson Lake Nov. 18, 2008, near Sumas, Wash. Years of collecting dead carcasses and examining lead-poisoned livers have convinced Smith of this: to save Pacific Coast trumpeter swans, he has to haze them. When trumpeter swans started dying by the hundreds in recent years, scientists traced the problem to the shallow 100-acre Judson Lake that straddles the U.S.-Canadian border 15 miles east of Blaine, Wash. Lead shots have been banned for waterfowl hunting since 1991. But wildlife scientists believe the long-necked swans were swallowing shots, along with food and grit, from the muddy bottoms of lakes and wetlands.

I do respect what Mike says. Mike's opinion is I'm overreacting. Mine is I don't feel I'm overreacting at all. Maybe if we bark loud enough and long enough, the higher-ups will do something about it.
