Swan Family

    Today, I saw the birth of new baby swans in the park. 
    Six cygnets were with their mother. 
    So cute.

Perfect Partnership

A pair of swans in the park are taking turns incubating their eggs.
One warms the eggs while the other keeps watch over the surroundings to protect their family in the nest. A perfect partnership. According to a local bird watcher, the estimated hatching day is around May 1.

New Spouse! 

    Like every spring, the pair of swans in the park are incubating their eggs. But a local swan watcher told me some surprising news. 
    According to him, this year’s father swan is not the same as last year’s. The former one hasn’t been seen this year — he may have died. So, the female swan has accepted a new mate to start a new family.  
    Every family has its own story. It might be the same for both swans and humans.

A Swan on the Snowy River

    Today it’s snowing. 
    My huckleberry‑friend swan on the park river may feel the cold more than usual today.

Independence Day?

    A pair of swans are floating on the Ohori River by KFK Park. 
    Their cygnet seems to have gone off on its own.

A Gull

  I went to an eye clinic. 
  On the way home, I saw a gull in a pond.

□まだ追い出されてはいないらしい

 今年の見納めに公園に行ったら、子供(多分)が一羽だけいじけて浮かんでいた。
 まだ追い出されてはいないらしい。

□今年は早めに子離れ?

 仲良く、水草を食んでいる白鳥、又親子かと思ったらどうも今日は夫婦みたいだ。
 今年は早めにテリトリーから子供(たぶん息子)を追い出したのかな?

□お母さんと一緒

 一人息子(多分)は大きくなって、もう大きさはお母さんと変わらない。
 くちばしの色でかろうじて親子の区別がつく。
