Yes, large waterfowl can be aggressive. When I was at the zoo one day I saw a trumpeter swan beat the crap out of a mallard that got too close. And that was just pique, since it didn't have any young around. Add in goslings or cygnets and they get pretty cranky.

I once had one come at me. I made like a football punter adn put his sorry @$$ through the uprights. he came at me again and I let him have it again.

he found other things to do, and let me alone after that.

Swans are mean. Ive seen them attack people on wave runners, tubes, etc. Cant say I blame them for attacking the wave runners :)

I'm putting my tinfoil on, LOL, so here goes:

What is it with animals that live in and around water, and electromagnetic anomalies? This go 'round, it looks like alligators and swans. Back during Solar Max in 2001, it was sharks. I've seen research that indicates Solar Max influences human beings as well, with some "revolutionaries" going so far as having suggested timing their revolutions to coincide with the 11 year, cyclical peak. We're just about at the midpoint of this cycle now, but the anomalies remain, as do the effects, it's beginning to seem.

Nutty? Maybe. Time will tell.

...though nesting season may make the birds more aggressive.

Yup. In a local pond, a resident pair of swans coexisted with many geese until they had cygnets. With that, the cob would tolerate no geese on the pond.

Or near the pond:

Gee, maybe it's Al Gore's kooky "global warming" conspiracy at work.
