Moms and Dads

Two sets of parents to be have been greeting us at the water's edge every morning. We've had at least one nesting pair of Canada Geese for years but this is our inaugural visitation from the Swans. What a treat! We have a lot of water foul duking it out for the prime nesting real estate on our islands. So far these two pairs seem to be living peaceably together. Now, if we can only keep our dogs away from the babies it will be a good Spring!

  1. How fortunate for you! They're beautiful! I'm surprised to see the CG in the same space as the swan...they usually don't get along. What a wonderful sight!

  2. Love the picks. Pat and I have a constant supply of food for the mallards in our area. jim
