Are there swan babies at Lost Lagoon?
No, not in 2002. Several nests were made and several eggs were laid but never hatched. In 2001, four cygnets were born on June 13 to a two year old pen (female) that was born on the Lagoon in 1999. As mute swans don’t usually reach sexual maturity until three or four, this successful clutch was a little miraculous. Unfortunately, only one of these cygnets survived (after being removed from Lost Lagoon and protected by Ziggy Jones of the Park Board).
