A threat to wind surfing?
This mute swan was exhibiting this classic posture where it's wings are raised as it swam around this small lake. I read on Wikipedia that this behavior is known as busking and is a threat display. Although they said that this may also allow the swan to wind surf. So, maybe it's just threatening to wind surf or wind surfing to threaten... Go figure... ;-)
