Nature Walks – My Earth Day Pelicans

Our Pelicans are very seasonal. They join us in spring and usually stay through the summer. The Pelicans are our largest birds here in Colorado. The breeding males have large vertical plates on their beaks. This helps them to establish dominance over their particular territory. Yesterday the Pelicans arrived. They came just in time to celebrate Earth Day this year. 🙂

Sometimes we see them in big groups.

Often they are together with the Egrets.

We see them off on their own quite frequently too.

And on a particularly lucky day, I can get some good shots of them flying above.

Have a great day and make everyday great. If you allow yourself to see it, everyday always has something good to show us. 🙂
