Running Swan, Bartlett Pond, Manomet, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA

It is a distinct sound - the webbed feet of a swan slapping against the water surface as he tries to get up to flying speed. It's a big hunk of bird to get moving. Sometimes he's not trying to fly but rather just get away from another pursuing swan protecting his territory.

Such was the case here - he settled back into the water maybe 100 yards farther away.
