Thank you! I am going to do it! They are wild. I think it may even be the same swans as last year (that lost the eggs in a storm right before they were ready to hatch!). I am going to build up that area, even if I have to do it myself with dirt and straw! I will go to Cove as well, and see if they will help me. I am so sad. I watched them build this nest, and it was only there for 1 week. It was so sad watching them looking at their ruined nest with the eggs scattered about. Thank you for your help and response! Karen
