Swan

 Isn't she so beautiful?  We have had a swan come to our lake a few times, and just really so amazing! 

 She was right at our yard here.  I wanted to get close, but stayed on the back patio and zoomed in as close as I could.

 Literally the next time I looked a crane came to the exact spot.  Crazy!! 

 She was out struting her stuff.

To compare in size, these are geese next to her, and they are not small!  I keep missing her take off in flight, but neighbors say it takes her almost the length of the lake to get in the air!
