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

Thank you for viewing.

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.

American White Pelican juveniles

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.

♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥

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 :-)

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,

Three birds. One sky. Zero tolerance for offbeat wingwork. These airborne aces aren’t just flying; they’re performing a synchronized routine that would make a fighter squadron jealous. Spaced perfectly across a moody gradient of sunrise (or is it sunset?), they look like they’re headed to a very exclusive meeting where the dress code is “feathers and finesse.”

This image is nature’s version of a boy band mid-tour: dramatic lighting, perfect spacing, and just enough mystery to keep you guessing.

My latest photography is now available for purchase at crsimages.pixels.com/, featuring prints, framed art, and more from my curated collections—though this one might be just for those who appreciate a little avian choreography.

A group of American White Pelicans flying in unison over the Snake River. They still had their breeding horns. The “horn” on the upper bill of an adult American White Pelican is a fibrous growth known as the nuptial tubercle. This odd growth develops in both sexes during the breeding season and is thought to contribute to its mating displays and perhaps signal breeding fitness. An alternative title for this photograph is Horny Flyers. Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, USA, April 2025
