Over the last 36 hours, five cygnets -- baby swans -- have hatched along the Charles River in Boston, with two eggs still visible under the mother swan.
A crowd gathered to watch the goings-on near the Esplanade on Wednesday morning. At one point, the male swan was even seen chasing away a turtle.
Below are some images of the swans captured by NBC10 Boston photographer Mark Garfinkel.
