white birds Archives • Into the Light Adventures

Don’t Forget to Look Up, well I went for a walk to my favorite little lake here and they have a dock over the water and some benches to sit on. I walked up to the benches and sat down one early morning. I was enjoying the view in front of me and then I looked up and to my surprise, right above me stood this beautiful Egret bird, as quiet as it could be.

I slowly raised my camera up to photograph this bird high above me. Then it flew off, what a fun surprise this was. Sometimes I focus to much on what is right in front of me and I miss the beauty that surrounds me from above looking down at me.

The Boys Are Back in Town

By Sandra | October 6, 2020

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.

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. 🙂
