I went to visit "my" teen swans, boy have they gotten big.
Mom and Dad know me, they recognize me...
we had a long chat about life, I always tell them how beautiful the babies are.
They had eight cygnets, five remain.
According to google, the cygnets stay in the nest for 24 hours after hatching and then enter the water.
Their first day in the water was May 6th, that would make them 6 weeks old here.
They are about the sweetest thing I have ever encountered.
If you are interested...
I wrote about their first day in the water, oh they were so tiny, here, and subsequent visits here and here.
The swans have grown, I guess it is good they grow quickly.
ReplyDeleteFor their protection. Love the photos.
Take care, have a great new week!
So fluffy! So cute! đ©”
ReplyDeleteThose teens grow fast! Love them to bits Debbie, so beauitiful!
ReplyDeleteThey are adorable! Balls of fluff! Fantastic photos!
ReplyDeleteThey certainly do play the role of the ugly duckling well. Soon they will mature into majestic and graceful swans!
ReplyDeleteMy apologies for the long delay in visiting your blog. Life just got in the way.
ReplyDeleteLove these swan pictures. They are so beautiful and such graceful looking birds. The babies look so "fluffy."
Really cute! But their itty bitty wings better start growing more. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteDear Debbie!
ReplyDeleteSwans are beautiful birds and your photos are perfect as always.
A dear friend had two swans on her pond. unfortunately one was killed, mostly likely by an animal trying to rob it's nest. So pretty!
