Parent Swan Teaching Cygnet to Fly [View all]

Last edited Sun Jan 17, 2021, 08:07 PM - Edit history (1)

Parent is the closer of the two. The cygnet still has some grey feathers remaining, and the bill hasn't reached it's bright orange color yet.

The kids have all moved out on their own now. Just the parents are left hanging out.

Mom and dad did good this year. 5 out of 6 of the cygnets made it. At least someone had a good year!
