Signets

I took Coco out on the kayak on Spy Pond this evening. We’ve been monitoring a swans nest in some reeds on Elizabeth Island – a tiny Island in the center of the pond. Today the swans were not guarding their nest, despite 2 huge unbroken eggs sitting there. We paddled over to the swans, and discovered two baby swans, signets, sitting on one of the swan’s backs. After a couple of minutes, the babies slipped off Mom’s back and swam aroung a bit. While Minky takes it for granted, I think it’s amazing finding such ‘nature’ 10 minutes from Harvard Square.
