Description
A Female Mute Swan laid a clutch of 6 eggs. Next day there were 5. 4 remained by week's end Ever the hopeful, good Mama she kept those non-viable eggs warm. Several days later, about 2.5 weeks after laying them, she and her mate abandoned the nest. WE witnessed this for 3 consecutive seasons. 2018 Update--This year the very same mated pair had 5 hatchlings! Four safely made it into young adulthood. Two females were relocated to another pond abount 3 miles away.
