The following update on the swans along the creek was just received this morning. Than you to the "caring folks" who have devoted so much for these beautiful birds........
"We want to let you know we have Little "Meadow." You will see "Handsome"and "Harmony" without their precious Cygnet for the foreseeable future.
"Meadow" has been bitten by a Snapping Turtle... It is a nasty injury to the right foot.
We got a call from one of the Swans' Friends that one foot was injured. This information helped us, we knew to bring our big net, which we do not always have in the Van. With just the right help and some "luck" and Rob's quick reflexes... "Meadow" was in the net on the first try...
"Harmony" and "Handsome" were very upset... They looked for the Cygnet for a while and finally returned to the Creek.. This will be a sad time for them.
We have washed the wound, soak it in a dilute betadine and will be in touch with our Veterinarian early Monday morning.. Hopefully, she will be able to evaluate and start treatment Monday. "Meadow" is resting safely with us, eating, drinking and pooping OK.. so that is all good.
I will let you know as soon as we have some idea what we will need to do.."
