Re: [cobirds] Trumpeter Swans, Lakewood, Jeffco

Just because this was a pic of the decoys, or art, or whatever it is meant to be, is that a reason to take the pic down from the facebook page? I'd like to see it. Ira Sanders Golden, CO On Sat, Mar 14, 2020 at 10:54 PM Karl Stecher Jr. wrote: > I am sending this message to Joe on Cobirds,
