Here are some more photos of the swan that conducted from the marshes at the refuge. It spent a long time preening, diving into the water, splashing around, and must have ended with a thorough washing of its entire body.

beautiful scens. I have never so “wild” swan bath, as you documented this swan lost lots of feather. Beautiful natural scens including the splashes.
Thanks for sharing these (and many other) photos

I’d say you were treated to an impromptu performance of Swan Lake, Hien!
Beautifully captured.

You are right. I have also been watching Swan Lake on blu-ray. It is more colorful, but this is better.

Thanks Tim. I had not seen this either, this energetic bathing. Some Canada Geese were also doing it, but the swans stole the show.
