Grace on the nest as Gus stands by. The nest is located on an island in Aspen Lake.
The next day a third cygnet is seen (behind her left leg). The fourth egg did not hatch.
The reveal! Grace stands up and shows that two cygnets have hatched and two eggs are showing.
The family heads to the lake to feed. The third cygnet is behind Gus and out of the picture. They are at the edge of what seems like a cliff.
The first cygnet takes a header (face plant) and then rolls into the water.
Cygnet #1 is now at mom’s side in the lake and it's time for #2 to take the plunge.
Nicely done! Cygnet #2 seems to fly off the ledge.
Cygnet #3 makes the jump and lands on its back in the water. All three are now ready to begin in the feeding instruction.
All's well that ends well and everyone is afloat.
