A Pelican at Our House

Well, it was never actually in our house, but then it was a wild pelican, just stopping for rest on its way north. 😊

On Friday shortly before lunch, Judy called my attention to a big white bird on our pond. I expected it to be a snow goose or maybe a swan. Either one would be a beautiful sight. 

But as it swam closer to us, I could see it was a pelican! I had not seen one in ages. It swam back and forth on the pond and I took several photos. I had to zoom in to see it well, but I still got some good photos. It was a real treat. Even when we lived in the country we never had a visit from a pelican, and now we live on the edge of a small city, with a pond in front of our windows.
