Swan - wing pump

I was driving along the waterfront in Belleville Ontario, and was taken by this larger than normal swan - I assumed it was the dominant male in the group. There was about 8 - 9 swans in the same location. I know for a fact after a swan has cleaned and pruned itself - they do a big wing pump. I stopped the car - got out, and proceeded to watch this swan go through the process of cleaning and pruning. I waited for about 25 minutes on the shoreline for this to happen - I was rewarded with a huge wing pump from this large male - patience was the key - just waiting for it to happen. it was beautiful.
