Swan Pond Shore, Valley City Live Cam

This pond-shore view in Valley City, Ohio, looks over a pile of boulders at the water's edge under a large spruce. Mute swans and ducks swim and walk ashore in front of the stones.

The pond lies within a wholesale plant nursery near Valley City, a village in Medina County south of Cleveland, where several ponds sit among the growing fields. Swans live on them all year, and ducks gather on this bank. A grey box on a post stands at the water's edge, left of the boulders.

The camera sits low on the shore, so birds on the stones and in the shallows are seen close to the lens, while willow branches and spruce boughs frame the picture from above. The view is fixed and shows the same boulder pile all day.
