Directly across the street from the Tidewater is a lovely pond, Mill Pond, that is home to two beautiful swans among other wildlife. Every spring we watch the female sitting on a nest protected by grasses. What incredible patience! Finally, we are rewarded with little fuzzy baby swans or cygnets. This year we have been anxiously waiting for the baby cygnets. Last week I saw that the nest was empty and when I looked more closely, I saw several fuzzy babies with the proud parents surrounding them.
They have grown considerably the last few days and are venturing further into the pond. It's been fascinating watching them grow and see the diligent protection of the parents. Route 28 is a very busy commercial strip, but there are still spots of tranquility that bring us back to nature and this is one of my favorite.If you visit the Tidewater, make sure to walk across the street to see these beautiful swans.
