Swans Down

 Our magnificent pair of swans has returned for a second season to a nearby wetland.  This is their second brood hatched near our backyard here in western Minnesota.  They appear to have four little gray-fluffs floating along with Mom and Dad.
​
Predation seems to take its toll on the young swans.  We hope at least a couple will make it to  flight-size and hopefully we will see the whole family flying together by fall.
