5 day old baby mute swans or cygnets enjoy some time away from the nesting area. Mom & Dad have them safely barricaded in the shallows to fend off Pike, snapping turtles and any other predators hungry for a snack.
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.
