black swan

The swans are busy. We found 2 eggs in a pile of pine straw. This will be the third laying of eggs in one year..unheard of. But there were problems last hatching...as soon as the the 5 eggs hatched in April, the two youngsters from the January hatching, killed all 5.

This swan has a necklace of green pond lace around its neck, it's been there for days.
