Beauty or beast?

Yes, they're beautiful. And the fact that they mate for life brings them many human admirers. But Mute Swans are incredibly aggressive non-native birds which drive away any large waterfowl that even think about nesting on the same bit of water. Here in Cape May, the swans have become quite a problem, taking over most of the freshwater ponds in the southern end of the county. They certainly are photogenic though.
