Check out this awesome capture by Steve from our that's so Minnesota Facebook page; you're looking at a trumpeter swan taking flight on open water. The heaviest living bird native to North America, stretching near 6 feet in length and weighing more than 25 pounds. A bird that size would need about 100 meters to get off the ground.
A rare find by Brenda, a beautiful albino mallard, which is extremely rare in the wild, but a very sensitive sight, especially to light. This duck can be found in calm shallow sanctuaries. Thanks for sharing!
