Considered by some to be symbols of elegance; maligned by others as invasive pests. Either way, regardless of what other small waterfowl you might be focused on while sitting on the bank of a waterway, you can't help but look up when you hear the loud whooshing and splashing as one of these birds with his heavy body and large wingspan struggles to gain liftoff. Captured at Cape May Point in 2014.
D7000, 500f4 + 1.4 TC, ISO 1600, 1/1600s @ f/7.1 manual.
