Good evening,

When I most recently visited Crandon Park Gardens in Feb, I found the two Coscoroba Swans attending an active nest. I could not determine the contents of the nest because I did not want to chase off the adults, and there was a particularly "plucky" Graylag Goose that seemed to be defending the swan nest by running up and biting any intruder that ventured too close(!)

If anybody knows the fate of the swan nest, I'd be grateful. If any young fledged, I'd be doubly grateful for one of more photos of them.


Best regards,
