Tragic Death of Our Swans

I am very sad to report that both Teller and his mate Pentrey have died and their cygnet eggs were taken by a predator. Teller died from his wounds on Monday evening which were a result of his brave and noble effort to protect Pentrey and the cygnet eggs. Pentrey passed away today which we think may have been a result of grief and shock. We are all grieving for their loss and I know many of our guests and neighbors will as well. They gave us so much beauty and pleasure over the years. We do not intend to have swans on Buckhorn Pond in the future, but we hope to erect a memorial in their honor.
