Three Juvenile Trumpeter Swans.....
.....battling it out, I wonder if this is the way that they learn to fight, but they sure make a lot of noise, they will start their journey back north on February the 14th, as they do every year, but there is very few dull moments when they are here at Magness Lake Arkansas, they are the largest migratory birds in North America.....
Thanks for your clicks and comments, they are appreciated........

Tough shot with the action and light. You have managed both well. Looks like a good place to get some action shots of birds.-Regards,

A great action shot of these three youngsters as they play at practice fighting.You caught them well even though they are part in shade and part in bright light, your exposure is excellent for the whites and details.
