Black Swan babies are 2 MONTHS OLD

The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful.
e. e. cummings

Look at the parents' fierce guard over their little ones.
History: 5 eggs, 3 born during a snow storm, one live baby taken by a bird or some animal, 2 growing strong now.

They are eating lots of food provided by the neighborhood but still run towards me with that honking. I just stand still and they soon forget me taking pictures. BABIES BORN

The stately-sailing swan
Gives out his snowy plumage to the gale;
And, arching proud his neck, with oary feet
Bears forward fierce, and guards his osier isle,
Protective of his young.
James Thomson
