Broken Hearted

I've watched these swans for years. It was one of the joys of traveling Scio Church to school. I'd watch for their return every spring, watch them build their nest, watch the nest get disguised as the weeds grew in the pond, watch the Mom and Dad take turns sitting on the nest--even in pouring rain, watch when the cygnets arrived--watch the Mom and Dad play with the babies--and last Thursday again watched as the Mom and Dad flanked the babies along Scio Church shoulder while the babies napped. I loved watching these birds. They were graceful, loving (they mate for life) and so kind with their young. Who could be so cruel? This person needs to be caught and punished. So sad :-(
