Four day old baby swans (cygnets). I hope you guys make it, New born cygnets are often prey for crows, herons, magpies, turtles, pike and large perch. Both cygnets and full-grown swans are also the prey of foxes and mink.
The mild northeast winter has these early adopters popping up in our ponds & waterways. These baby geese or goslings are such a delight, cue ball in size they scamper around to explore their new world. Be prepared for some delays as the family crosses our streets & highways, gets rescued when they fall through our storm drains. My favorite part of spring.
