Facts: Like some others in the geese (Anatidae) family, swans mate for life although if one of a pair dies the other will find a new mate. The young are precocious in that they enter the water soon after hatching. At their nesting swans gather and pile up grass, sedges, and mosses. The resulting nests measure about 6 feet across and 12-18 inches high. This will support the eggs above water level and provide a lookout station from which the swans can guard against predators. During incubation, females alone care for the eggs while their mates stand guard nearby.
