Happy "Birth"day, Little Swan! - a photo on Flickriver

Happy "Birth"day, Little Swan!

            This little one probably hatched during the morning.  The first day of a cygnet's life is spent in the nest by its mother as it waits for other eggs to hatch.  By the second day, they will be out on the water.

(This is one of two nests on the lake; the other nest has seven cygnets on the water.)

Please note that this photo is not as intrusive as it appears; it's from the canoe, some distance away with a 300 mm lens on a Nikon DX7200, which gives a 35mm equivalent of 450 mm, plus the image shown is significantly cropped.  When photographing nesting birds, it's important to keep a good distance away.
