I do sincerely love pelicans. They may be a bit odd looking up close and they are awkward on foot. Yet in the air they are masters of flight. If you have ever watched them for a while you will come to understand they truly enjoy flying. Unlike geese, who migrate in a vee and make straight for a warmer clime, pelicans circle and soar, taking their own sweet time to get to wherever it is they go. When you are the master of the air, you can do that.

We have a pond near the golf course that has open water due to an aerator. So, the Canadians seem a little confused about heading south when it snows, freezes and artic winds begin!
There must be two hundred geese huddled along the shore or floating around making serious noise!
"If you aren't going to head south, you stay here and I will... dang nab it!"

It is difficult to fit 750,000 geese into a single frame!
These migratory birds began arriving at Tewaukon National Wildlife Refuge (SE North Dakota) on Thursday March 10th 2016 and their numbers gradually built to a high of over 750,000 at their peak. The flock consisted primarily of snow geese, with some blue geese sprinkled throughout. The birds stayed on Lake Tewaukon for several days, enjoying the only open water in the area.
Hundreds of people flocked (pun intended) to the refuge to witness this spectacular wildlife show! The sound of that many geese is deafening and it is impossible to imagine unless you’ve experienced it first-hand. Anglers standing side-by-side on the shore told our refuge staff that when the geese would take off or land in large numbers it was impossible to hear each other speak.
This year’s count is the second highest number of snow geese ever recorded on Tewaukon National Wildlife Refuge. The highest count occurred in the spring of 1992 when once again Lake Tewaukon was the only open water around and over 750,000 snow geese piled in to the open water.
Of course, all good things must come to an end. These birds are only visitors who briefly grace us with their presence in the spring when they make their way to their Arctic breeding grounds. We will anxiously await their return in the fall as they head back down south to their wintering grounds.
