BRICK Mother Nature works in mysterious ways.
A male mute swan named Alfie may have been accidentally saved from certain death when it was discovered on Friday near Seawood Harbor trapped in fishing line, the New York Times reported.
The death that awaited Alfie, a longtime fixture of these waters, had been a penalty imposed by federal officials who deemed the bird too aggressive to people on jet skis.
Supporters, including the mayor, had been seeking a reprieve in the form of relocating the swan to a willing sanctuary at Popcorn Park Animal Refuge. But state and federal officials shrugged their shoulders, explaining that relocating wildlife was just not something that is done, especially when the wildlife is considered an invasive species.
