I'm always amazed that a creature that's so graceful on water can look so awkward in flight.... Great action shot!

And they do not only look heavier than a pelican, they are much louder! Flapping worse than a turkey... LOL
Still, it can fly at all. We can't, no matter how elegant we look in our sunday best clothes!
