Monday evenings Keannon and Vanessa both have Bible Study and Kennedy has volleyball practice
so I take her to practice and pick her up.
I use the time she is at practice to go feed horses. Last Monday September 26th I had taken Kennedy to practice. I was getting back in my truck when something in the sky caught my eye. What I saw was lots and lots of large birds. My very first thought was they were Canadian Geese although they were flying low and not making any sound. That's odd I thought. I grabbed my
camera as quick as I could changing lenses to my zoom and started snapping pictures. It wasn't until I got home and put the pictures on the computer that I was able to see that the birds were not geese but pelicans!!
We have pelicans that winter here as well.
It was pretty cool to watch!
Leaving the gym where I left Kennedy, I hadn't driven very far when I saw this!
There were two!
Nice little pose before I leave.
Pretty clouds.
I thought this was cool. There was too much cloud cover for a colorful sunset but it looked like the clouds were streaks like sun rays to me.
Have a goo done!
I wonder where the pelicans came from. There were still pelicans and geese on the Mississippi in Iowa that hadn't migrated yet when we were there last week. And I got to see a bald eagle! A couple of them--too far to take a photo with my phone but I saw them flying and you could tell it was one. Also saw a nest in a tree on the riverbank and saw one swoop down and catch a fish in front of the riverboat!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea where they come from! Wow how cool is that to see an eagle. That's on my bucket list to see one in the wild and get a picture!
