Starting lineup

Hi Everyone!

 

This is at St. Andrew's Lock and Dam at the Red River, a popular fishing spot for American White Pelicans.

 

When you are at the top of the stairs, you can see the water rushing down the dam. It is there that the pelicans line up and go fishing. There are some huge fish that are swimming towards the pelicans. The water falling down the dam is quite loud so the birds aren't disturbed by the clicking of cameras. These are mostly young pelicans. Next post will be a closer up view. I must admit it was rather fascinating to watch from above. It was challenging because the space was barely large enough for my lens.

 

If you want to see how large some of the fish get, check out this previous post! It is a shot of a pelican with a HUGE fish!
