Takeoff Run!

This female Wigeon (or male in eclipse plumage) executes a takeoff run across the waters of Westchester Lagoon. Definitely a "run" as it uses its feet to help keep it above the water and increase it's speed as it's wings work to transition to flight.

 

Taken 4 September 2017 at Westchester Lagoon, Anchorage, Alaska.
