Nawautin Sanctuary Busy with Activity
Nawautin Sanctuary was a busy play on Friday, April 26, 2024 south of Grafton.
The swans have once again nested and are awaiting for their cygnets.
Cygnets take about 35-42 days to hatch. With the female swan turning the eggs with her bill.
A chipmunk keeps a watchful eye out from the safety of the woods.
A family of geese including three goslings (no relation to Ryan) ventured out of their nest and headed to Lake Ontario. What seemed like ease for the parents proved a bit more of a challenge getting out into the water even with small waves..
Goslings take about a month to hatch and leave the nest within 24-hours.
And the turtles are just taking it easy enjoying the sun.
