The author captured Agnes and her six fully mature cignets by Mary's Shrine during his time as an Alexian Brother in Elk Grove Village IL. He remembers a portait of courage and survival, of Agnes and the cignets, as they move forward after losing George, the male swan, from a coyote attack when the babies were still hatching.
