It was blowing 20-25 with gusts to 30 so I was just a bit hesitant to toss the Mav 3 up near trees and wires...somewhere....but what the heck. The swans only hang around in the slough in back of our house for a very short time as they continue even further north. After filming getting back to the car was an interesting struggle. It was 4mph at full tilt bogey.
