Every year (except oneyear two years ago) we have one pair of mute swans living on the lake. They appear around April and have cygnets in mid-May. This year they started with 8 cygnets and at this time in August have 5 left. Recently they ostracized one of the remaining 5. This is very upsetting to me. Will this cygnet survive? Should I call the DNR to pick it up? Should I feed it? Please tell me why this happens and how I should handle it. We live on a small lake in Michigan.
