I didn't even know they had babies with them till mother swan came ashore and three cygnets tumbled out of her feathers... the fourth cygnet couldn't be persuaded out until they went back into the water... I backed up a respectable distance when I took this shot... both mother and father were there and they hissed a few warnings as they gobbled the bread I gave them...

Thanks For Sharing ! Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience
Wow Mary, you sure were at the right place at the right time. This is such a precious capture, love the way the little one is peaking out from moms wings.

Always remember - Follow the Yellow Brick Road, it will lead you to OZ and the Emerald City. A very nice place to live. Trust me on this one, I live there. The Lion **** MY CAEDES GALLERY****Another Site I'm AT - MY DA HOME PAGE
This is a dandy HF. It looks like a kid in one of those cars at Disneyland driving around. It looks like a 1964 Plymouth Valiant Signet. :) Nice post.

Baby on board! What a wonderful shot! Thanks so much for sharing! As a certified Wildlife Habitat Stewart though, I must mention that ducks and waterfowl should not be fed bread!
Here's an excerpt from the Duck Rescue Network Organization, "Bread has very few nutrients, and can get compacted in a bird's crop. Many rehabilitators see "bread-impacted crop" in sick and distressed park ducks. Bread is very low in protein, contains additives that wildfowl aren't built to cope with. If you want to feed ducks or other waterfowl, please do not feed them bread. Substitute cheerios, grapes cut in half, a thawed bag of frozen peas or corn, or kale, romaine or other leafy greens (not iceberg lettuce)"
