I finally got back to check on Momma Swan,
whom I first found and photographed on April 16th.
I only saw one swan as we approached the lake,
and that one was in the water,
very busy preening, with Mr. Male Mallard.
I know exactly where the nest was, on an island at one end of this lake.
The nest that I saw back in April was completely open but it is now completely covered in overgrowth.
Yet, I was pretty sure I saw her in there, can you see her?
The hubs drove me around to the other side of the lake...
and sure enough, there she was!
I spent about 10 minutes watching and photographing her.
She spent most of the time tending to and fixing up her nest,
then she curled up and I assume drifted off to sleep.

Hi Debbie, your swan captures are gorgeous. I just love the graceful curve of a swan's neck. Have a wonderful long weekend.
All these photos are beautiful. I have always loved swans. I saw some black ones years ago too, really amazing. Have a super weekend.

Nature never fails to surprise us.
I like a paparazzi like you.
Before long the babies will be ready to photograph.
I am so glad you went back. I was thinking about her and wondering if she had hatched her babies.
Lovely photos Debbie.
You must have so much fun capturing all that glorious bird life that abounds at your place. How exciting a nest with cygnets. I look forward to your photos of these gorgeous babies.
