Prospect Park Lake got a cute Memorial Day weekend surprise: five new cygnets hatched in the area this past Saturday at 7 a.m.! Anne-Katrin Titze sent in the above photo and tells us they're "the biggest attraction at Prospect Park by far. The first family born on the lake since the July 8th, 2010 massacre." So far, they've been away from any fishing entanglements that could injure them.

Do you think they'll make friends with the goslings?
