THE (almost) TRUMPETER SWAN CYGNETS FIRST FLIGHT

145 views Port Skipper September 23, 2014 unknown Date shot: September 23, 2014

At the Port Perry/Nonquon Lagoons after lunch. A north breeze was blowing. As I came along the path on the south end of the pond (background) I noticed that they were almost in a V formation in the water. I hurried to get ahead of them. This is the third frame I shot as they started a northern takeoff run. Mom is with the Cygnets. Dad is lagging behind. They never got any farther. Two more attempts were made without success. Preening followed as they settled on the shore to rest. Next time ??
