A flurry of wings....


A flurry of wings leaves this pair behind...


These two shots are of the same pair.


They were not the only ones left behind...just the only pair I tried to shoot.  The others were too far away.

Aren't they pretty. I bet they appreciated the quieter surroundings after all those others flew off.

Quite a frenzy going on in that first photo with so many birds!! It's amazing that they don't fly into each other. The swans are so graceful here.
