White Pelican Stops By

I was winding my way back home after getting the youngest from school when we made a very unexpected find. A White Pelican was feeding at Lake Davis! It was hanging out with a flock of Double-crested Cormorants and cruising around in the swallow waters.



I have never seen this species on a lake in the neighborhood in all these years. Sometimes they are seen flying overhead a bit farther North or closer to the coast so this was amazing. Great bird to find in a suburban town so far inland.



On the way back to the van we also found many Anhinga including this male in breeding plumage.



Nice views so close to home.
