There is nothing graceful about the way Tundra Swans splash down and they have a bit of a kerfuffle if another swan is in their landing path. In the end, no swans were hurt. This time.

Tundra Swans Landing
You got some wonderful action shots. To be such beautiful birds, they certainly do look awkward when they land.
Thank you, Rebecca! They were fun to watch.
Great stop action shots, Ellen. They do look comical when landing!
Thanks, Jane. And really a surprisingly small splash given their size.
Waterbirds can be quite funny as they land; nice action photos, Ellen!
They sure can! That was fun watching them fly from one end of the pond to the other. Thank you, Belinda!
