Watch: Heckscher Park employee rescues baby swan

A Heckscher Park employee saved a stuck-in-muck baby swan Tuesday — and it was all caught on camera.

In a heartwarming video clip captured in the quaint Huntington park by Kira Corcoran and posted on Facebook, park employee Jonathan D. calmly climbs over the fencing on a wooden bridge and carefully steps on large rocks to cross a stream. Once across, he scoops up the cygnet from the edge of the stream and quickly presents the little guy to the bird’s appreciative mother.

“Oh, wow. Oh my god — he’s doing acrobatics,” says one of a several onlookers on the bridge, referring to the park employee. “That’s impressive.”

The employee received applause and a round of “awws” and “yays” from the small crowd. It appears the baby bird was stuck in mud and between stones.
