Probably taken by marauding African swallows, who bury them at the foot of palm
trees as an over-winter supply. It’s quite common here to see flights of
African swallows circling over the pier at dusk in large murmurations, laden
with overripe carved pumpkins, sometimes one in each foot.

Alan, they are tagged for tracking and breeding purposes. Trumpeter swans
were near extinction and this farm I go to participated in a part of the
breeding program. The numbers are now up considerably and they are just
letting them breed naturally now

Tagged for research. How long they live and where, migration etc. Most
birds are tagged with rings on their legs. Large tags like on the swans can
be read without catching a bird. GPS trackers are expensive and don't last
a lifetime.

Dan, the swans are wild - they are tundra swans. Black beak is the
key. and so are the mallards , come to think of it ..
Yeah, Toine, those tags are awfully big.. ugh poor swan

Nice gallery, with many fine images.
These look like farm animals, rather than "wildlife," however, except for
the winged rats, a/k/a Canada Geese.
Great expression on the Jack-O-Lantern in image D723750!
