I don't know if this is their first year or not.
And the two adults have stayed alive, for a while. And their nest is on a sort of an island >
Along one shore line, I saw the remains of a dead bird, not a swan. I do not know if a swan killed it. I read that they kill birds; so certain...
We have wild swans, here; and these are free, I'm pretty sure, using a series of drainage water cleaning ponds.
This one is flying toward geese, in order to keep them out.
Maybe someone can rent a pair for the while they lay and incubate, then adopt the cygnets and send mommy and daddy home??
I read that the mother knows exactly how to turn eggs. And this is a skill that we might not have, more than intelligence can handle.
I adopt by using photographs >
