[mou] Mute Swan in Swift Co

[Eckert K R]

Bob Russell and I found a presumably wild Mute Swan late this afternoon 
on Lake Hassel just N of Benson in Swift Co. Bob first spotted it 
across the lake from the public access on the NW side of the lake, 
which is on Minn Hwy 29 about 7 mi N of Benson. It was swimming/feeding 
near the NE shore of the lake, and it was also visible through the 
trees just N of the township hall from the gravel road along the E side 
of the lake. This was not a park-like setting and no domestic waterfowl 
were in the area, suggesting this to be a "wild and countable" swan.

Eurasian Collared-Doves were seen today at 2 locations in Stearns Co. 
One was in the town of Spring Hill, just N of the ballfield; the other 
was in Belgrade along the RR tracks just N of downtown.
