3 Swans in the 'backyard'

[akdrone]

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.

Very nice video and WOW...an extra bonus...loved the mallards coming in too !

interestingly the mallards tend to join the swans and hang with them, sometimes a lone duck will join them and then swim right next to a swan, staying close. Perhaps for protection from the eagles. Dunno. Tried to ask but all I got was quack quack quack.
