Swan Nest in Amityville NY

Swan Nest in Amityville NY

My husband runs in the area behind the Amityville NY High School. Today he saw a swan sitting on top of an egg in the nest. He actually saw the egg today. I got there this afternoon with my camera and took photos of her on the nest. Waited a while to see if she would get up but no luck! I'll try again tomorrow. I love nature!

Jackie,

I have faith you seem determined.  I am sure you will get those pictures.  I will wait patiently for the pictures of the egg.

Great shots!  I think swans are probably my favorite type of fowl!

Jackie, I can honestly say I've never seen a swan nest before and the babies at the end were quite a surprise. FYI, I got married at the Swan Club in Roslyn.

Jackie, pretty cool!  I also remember your post about the Eagle Cam, I was just out to it and I guess the cam is down for a few days while the powers that be prepare for a flight cage or something similar.

Jackie, 

Love nature.  How fun to see the animals protect their young and new babies on the way.  Maybe you can catch some when they hatch.

All the best, Michelle

Obviously you have programmed your husband to look out for "Blog worthy" news too. Make him take the camera on his run.

Hi Everyone, thank you so much for your comments. It's been very busy and I barely have time to comment back to everyone. I'm going to try this week to get photos of the egg. Would love to catch that!
