I saw eight American white pelicans at Clinton on Saturday. I hope they have moved through or have a safe place to get through this storm. They are in my thoughts tonight. Click on pictures to enlarge.

The pelicans have mostly moved on. The cormorants will follow soon. Ducks are arriving in abundance. Meadowlarks are singing fall songs, and coots are everywhere. It’s beautiful weather to be out watching. Don’t forget to look up. Enjoy! Click on pictures to enlarge.
Along with the pelicans and cormorants, the lake is busy with coots. They are everywhere! Today, we watched hundreds move along the shore. A pelican investigated to see what was so interesting about this particular part of the bank. One brave lone coot decided to see what the crows were up to. They were eating a fish until a turkey vulture came over to claim it. They thought they would be able to trick him/her into leaving, but it didn’t work. Click on pictures to enlarge.
With all the lovely weather lately, it has been a joy to sit out at the lake and watch the hundreds of pelicans (and cormorants) migrating through. Click on pictures to enlarge.
I think there are more gulls here right now than people. They outnumber us, and that’s a good thing. More pelican pics later. 🙂 Click on pictures to enlarge.
It was a treat to watch this lone pelican hanging out at the lake a couple of weeks ago. I am thinking about him on this very cold morning and hoping he is doing well. Click on pictures to enlarge.
It’s very exciting to see the pelicans coming back through. I saw a few on Monday, which I hope means there are many more on the way. Click on pictures to enlarge.
