…or at least the area.
Remember the story a few weeks back on the swans that were relocated from Iowa to Arkansas in hopes they will begin naturally migrating between the two states?
Well, they have left the areas where they were released, and Arkansas conservation officials are asking people to report sightings.
There were 13 swans released on Holla Bend National Wildlife Refuge near Dardanelle. Five more were released in Boxley Valley in western Newton County, but two of those swans fell victim to predators just days later.
Officials from the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission are asking anyone who sees the swans to report the sighting on the Commission web site or by calling (877) 873-4561.
They need to know where they are, so they can keep track of them.
Hopefully, they’ll go back to Iowa, mate and then fly back to Arkansas next fall.
It would be pretty cool to have a regular migration of swans into the Mid-South every year.
