Perhaps another coincidence- I've been birding in Port Huron Michigan for the past four days and I've seen multiple pairs of Mute Swans, but (finally) no Eurasian Collared Doves. Only MODOs.

Mute Swans are increasing rapidly in many areas. I have found 22 ponds with swans in the central Sierra foothills this year (Tuolumne- Sacramento Counties). I saw none in ponds in Yuba and Butte County foothills. Nor did I see them in ponds in Lake County 2 weeks ago.
The Eurasian Collared Dove expanded more rapidly north along the coast then in the interior, but maybe that is just a coincidence.

Hi all,
Some of you know about the five Mute Swans I spotted flying north along
the coast at Virgin Creek on Tuesday. Well, in Jackson County, OR, five
Mute Swans showed up on Friday and then were gone. Today, five Mute
Swans were spotted in Arcata. What's the likelihood that they are the
same five birds I saw Tuesday morning?
