Summary
The June 2011 Beaver Beacon reports that Islanders watched swan chicks take their first swims at Barney’s Lake. The paper says the non-native swans had taken over a loon nest the previous year and that discussion had begun about whether to remove them.
Evidence limits
This is a newspaper wildlife observation and management concern, not a census, species survey, independently verified nesting study, or record of a removal decision.
