PDP #57: Loons and Swans

In my experience, not many animals make their presence felt in the city aside from pigeons, squirrels, raccoons, and seagulls. Down by the lake, insulated and isolated from the busy developed areas, it's a different story. I caught this photo on a beach adjacent to Long Branch Park, a beach full of swans and loons.

It was taken with maximum zoom because I didn't want to get too close. I've heard that swans can be mean bastards.
