Swan chasing intruder.
Swans can be vicious. They killed a worker at a wildlife center in England because he got too close to their nest in his kayak.
We have a pair that the city of Tuscumbia purchased for goose control at the park. During a recent flood they went down stream, and have a nest now in a marshy area. I remember as a kid how protective the pair we had then were when nesting. This is their first year to nest. Going to be interesting in May when they come back to the park.
Beautiful birds, but as Jerry said, they can be vicious. I went to elementary school in Stratford, Canada and every year at least one kid would be taken to hospital with a serious bite.
Very good capture, Robert.
