I think the Brown Pelicans can teach the humans a thing or two here.

Blooming Mehlinger Heath.

Lots of activity at the mealworm feeders today. There were five bluebirds in the largest feeder, and many more sitting on nearby branches, waiting for their turn. These males were patiently waiting for an opportunity to dine, but looked up in unison as even more bluebirds arrived. Backyard birds.

Just one day after my latest robin image, the youngsters were able to hold their heads up higher for longer. The sun penetrated their translucent skin making them glow.

There were so many Pelicans I could not capture them all with one shot. If there is one silver lining with regard to Covid, the wildlife seem to be flourishing.

The Ceremonial Guard, today, is a composite Canadian Armed Forces Unit of over 400 people that includes a Foot Guard company and the Band of the Ceremonial Guard. This year, the majority of the Guard is composed of Regular and Reserve Force Guard and includes soldiers from regiments across Canada.

Mallard Ducks

Squirrels usually defend their territory – however, this time two very young grey squirrels enjoyed their treats together in harmony. The reason for this peaceful feast may be that they are from the same clan.

It is amazing that now and then even a bird joined them, although the birds have two separate and squirrel-proof ‘dining rooms’ attached to this table, which is right in front of the window :-)

This pair of coots was cute, as they both seemed to look at the same things at the same time. I have another shot of them both looking at me, but liked this one better because it so well shows those red eyes. At Beaverton Creek wetlands.

I think these white pelicans should be more interested in their migrating plans than their local take offs in unison. Personally in other years , I have never seen them in Manitoba after the end of September......this photo was taken on Saturday , November 21st. Maybe they are planning on ice-fishing here this winter,
