Swan Family, Bartlett Pond, Manomet, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA


Sadly, our swan family is now reduced to only four of the original six cygnets. And, regarding the mom and dad swans ......

NO - they are not friendly.
NO - we neither feed nor do anything to attract them.
NO - they are not tame.
YES - they can and will hurt you.
YES - they sure look pretty, especially in flight.

YES - the red-winged blackbird whose nest is nearby still attacks vigorously when the swans come near.

And an unusual sight also occurred - a flock of six non-resident swans did two fly-bys. Didn't see them before and haven't seen them since. Seems odd behavior during nesting season. Poor photo quality but they looked and sounded pretty cool flying overhead.
