Cygnets
I had to look up the word for baby swan. It’s cygnet.
What a beautiful word.
A mama swan is a pen. A daddy swan is a cobbe.
Five cygnets and a pen.
These fuzzy little cygnets are the latest additions to the animal farm my dad helps manage.
They look so peaceful I wish I could be there right now.
What are your favorite baby animals?

Hi Crystal! Beautiful photo! The ducks on our lake just had some fuzzy babies but I’m pretty sure they’re just called ducklings
Too cute! Near the office where I work, there are tons of Canada geese and beautiful mallard ducks. Occasionally, I will see a mama goose or duck leading her chicks precariously across the busy road. I get so nervous for them!
Congratulations on the Collies Choice Award!
Thanks for the heads up on the award! Through my dizzying week, the news had somehow missed me until now. Thanks, too, for being a new follower, Bassas Blog!
What a cute picture.
Whee like baby guinea pigs the most. But maybe we are biased . . . ?!
