In August I was at Lake Morton in Lakeland, Florida. That lake has four species of swans. I tried photographing swans on the water but the heat shimmer made that impossible (mid-morning). While enjoying watching the swans and other birds this Mute Swan took exception to a goose being in the area. It strode up the ramp posturing, wings back, neck crooked, intimidating the goose. I was too close to do much else other than lower to it's level and capture the head and neck. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.
