.Bevy of Swans?.

.I have never seen so many swans before outside our place.  Where are they going?  What are they doing?.
 
Interesting Swan Facts:
1. they mate for life, but if one of a pair dies, the survivor usually takes a new mate
2. "divorce" can occur, usually following a nesting failure (awww, sad)
3. young swans (known as cygnets - sounds like some sort of swan hacker) usually travel with their parents for at least 1 year
4. an adult male is a cob
5. an adult female is a pen

So interesting!
