Black-Neck Swan on her protected nest

Nesting Black-Swan's mate came out of the water slowly to keep Rich and his camera at a distance! Hissed just a bit, but enough for us to back away from the nest area!

Weeks later Bob saw the Dad-swan on guard outside the nesting area while the Mother-swan tended to her 5 babies within.

Later the swan family was moved to a new location in the other lake near the dining room. Although kept on the outside, the father maintains a watchful vigilance.

The five baby swans and their parents on Father's Day, 2010. All had been transferred to the larger Lake Maggie earlier in the month. They are very much a family.

July, 2010
