Close encounter at about 30-40 feet
Missed a better opportunity at about 20 feet with it diving and banking, but, I couldn't get a focus lock.

Tundra Swans
There must have been hundreds in a pond we couldn't see about 1/4 of a mile away. We could hear them honking. When one large gaggle took flight we could hear their wings beating. Until this outing all the Tundra Swans departed to the South West. More than 90% of the Swans departed to the North on this outing.
