swan on her nest
p.1 #1swan on her nest
i was out this morning at kankakee wildlife reserve and saw a pair of swans in the same area that i had seen them last summer.
i had seen them one day last week. i was surprised to see the female swan on the nest. this is the first time i have seen a swan nest. i did an online search on length of time for swan eggs to hatch in a natural setting and the average is 36 days. she wasn't on the nest last week, so i'll have to keep a watch for next month and hopefully will get some nice photos of the baby swans. her mate was swimming close by keeping a watch on things.

That's one of the more attractive swan nests I've seen Wendall, not that i'd call it attractive. I'm fond of the last image.

thank you for looking at my pictures. i was surprised by the size of the nest. it would be exciting to get pictures of the baby swans while they are small. thank you for your comments.
