I Am Not Babysitting All of Them

I Am Not Babysitting All of Them

I Am Not Babysitting All of Them, that is what I picture the one Pelican is saying surrounded by all these little bobble heads. Or, ” What are these things?” 🙄

Then two more Pelicans join the group, but decide that taking a nap like all the others looks like a good idea.

I Am Going to Tip Toe Away

I Am Going to Tip Toe Away

I Am Going to Tip Toe Away, yes there are still a few pelicans hanging out down at the old river. It has been pretty warm here so I think they are taking advantage of it.

I was down there the other day watching this group of pelicans and 3 Blue Herons in the background. (video below of Egret eating fish)

And then a couple of Egrets showed up and two Herons left, getting to crowded for them. 🙂

And then this Heron on the left, looks like he is going to try and walk slowly away with no one noticing him, except the one Egret who is looking right at him.

Alright, time to run, as much as a Heron can run 🙂

Here is a short video of an Egret eating a fish. You will see the fish go all the way down that long neck. They must have a good digestive system, because they eat one after another.

The Boys Are Back in Town

The Boys Are Back in Town

The Boys Are Back in Town, well look who I found hanging out down at the old watering hole. Yep, there back, or they just stopped for a quick snack on their way south. I did not think I would see anymore until next year. What a surprise it was for me.

The Boys Are Back in Town

I went down to the river just to see if the Egrets were still here, because it has been getting colder at night. So I figured they might all be gone. I turn the corner and there are dozens of white birds down river and when I got closer I saw they are the White Pelicans. They were having a good time eating their fill of fish.

The water is really low right now, actually I have never seen it this low. And where these birds are, the outlet to this water hole is blocked because of the low water, so the fish that are here are trapped and the pelicans are having a feeding frenzy.

After they get there fill, they need to do a little preening as they perch themselves in the sunshine. I will be going down there tomorrow again to see if they might still be here. One more chapter Kent. 🙂
