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,
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.
Need to work on the neck position to keep them coordinated. Still not a bad attempt :) At the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge
A pair of Brown Pelican synchronize in their dive after prey on Honeymoon Island. From my Alternate Takes series.

I appreciate every comment very much, thank you for watching!
... in The Abbey Gardens on Sunday morning. It is the first time I have seen Morris dancing using handkerchiefs rather than sticks
from their website:
Winchester Morris Men came into existence on 11th March 1953 at the Eclipse Inn, The Square, Winchester; our dances and style of costume broadly reflect those seen in the Cotswolds during the nineteenth century.
I like the complementary red and green!
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.
Strange plant life in Van Dusen Botanical Gardens....
After processing the image and flipping it vertically, I could see faces and they looked like they were under water.

A lighthouse keeper on Iceland’s Westman Islands has been banding puffin chicks for more than 60 years. The islands are home to the largest puffin colony in the world, and the keeper, Oskar Sigurdsson, earned a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for his prolific banding: more than 90,000 birds in that time, including more than 55,000 puffins.
Half of North America’s Atlantic Puffins breed in one location: Witless Bay, Newfoundland, Canada.

The Black Skimmers are in town and I thought I would get to see them yesterday, but I got hung up in Friday afternoon traffic. So, this is actually from 2016, from my insane Skimmer afternoon.
This was taken last November in Florida as the sun was going down. Black Skimmers move so fast and are fascinating to watch as they skim the water in search of fish. That all seems far too energetic for the watching American White Pelicans.
"The strange, uneven bill of the skimmer has a purpose: the bird flies low, with the long lower mandible plowing the water, snapping the bill shut when it contacts a fish." Audubon
As always thank you for stopping by to look at my images. I really appreciate any comments and faves. Have a great day my Flickr friends 😊
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

There is safety in numbers. I like how these female Impala all bend down to drink at the same time and how their legs cross over each other.
