In Michigan, the DNR is trying to reduce this species of swan by encouraging the destruction of eggs. Anyone wishing to do so must call the DNR for verification and then will be issued a permit to destroy Mute Swan eggs. It is non native and reducing the number of native trumpeter swans. www.mi-riparian.org spring 2011 vol.46 issue 2
