Observation details
In Swan Pond. Was scanning with Binoculars and noticed something dark on the other side so I got the scope on it and it was an adult with 3 very young chicks. They were all still dark black with bald spots on top of their heads. They were all feeding along the edge were some of the vegetation was laying down. Scanned some more and found the other adult about 40’ to the right in a little patch of Spatterdock. So happy they are breeding again in Philly since they didn’t breed at Heinz again this year. I was a little surprised no one had seen the adults hanging around before this.
