+ Swan song continues on pond
Turtles aren’t the only ones in nesting mode: Harbour Links swan keeper David Novak reports that all three of the pond’s swan pairs produced nests this year. Alan and Beverly nested somewhere in the Bayou, although they didn’t produce any fertile eggs. As of Saturday, Vicki was still sitting on her nest, which has six eggs, but Henry is roaming, indicating that the eggs may be infertile. But the swan family is growing: The nest of Stan and Wendy hatched four cygnets, three of which have survived. The family is now gliding through the water with Stan keeping watch.
