New Life

Our swans returned on March 5th and I observed the mating ritual on March 27th. Normal incubation ranges from 32 to 45 days. Yesterday was day 44.

So, please join me in wishing our 5 cygnets Happy Birthday.
The quintuplets emerged about mid afternoon to a very proud and happy mute swan couple.

All see very alert and active. Now we have to hope that most or all survive the predators including fox, snapping turtles, blue herons, etc. that live here.
