Baby swans hatch behind library in Lyndonville
Bryan McDowell of Lyndonville, lead pastor at Oak Orchard Assembly of God on Ridge Road, submitted this photo his wife Whitney took of two swans and their newly-hatched babies behind the Yates Community Library in Lyndonville.
LYNDONVILLE – Bryan McDowell, his wife Whitney and their children often take walks down to the pond behind Yates Community Library.
They have been keeping an eye on a mother swan, which has been sitting on her eggs for a number of weeks, while the male swan keeps a close watch from nearby.
On Monday, Pastor McDowell was working when his wife and kids walked down and discovered some of the eggs had hatched.
“Our 3-year-old daughter Aurora said, ‘They are so cute, I wish I could pet them,’” McDowell said.
