American White Pelicans, Take 2

Two days out from the huge Pelican flock I decided to make my next round again. The day was a bit gloomier but there were still American White Pelicans out on Lake Cherokee. I was first more interested in the Great Blue Herons feeding by the Eastern shore. I am always amazed by how many fish are in these local lakes to supply the large birds that visit all the time.



The American White Pelicans were more subdued today but there were still a lot of them wandering about. These birds were a bit grimier suggesting they are digging deeper for fish.



Cleaner birds were floating out farther in the lake.



I liked having a chance to get the Pelicans lined up in many shots today.



More Great Blue Herons lurked around the edge of the lake waiting for a chance at a meal.



Most of the remaining American White Pelicans were juveniles and taking their time to rest.



A very young bird drifted by as I scanned the lake.



Among the incoming birds was an adult soaring in from overhead.



Yet another Great Blue Heron posed on the outtake pipe and took in the view.



An adult American White Pelican splashed at a following juvenile following a bit too close for comfort.



Not as exciting as Saturday but still an interesting morning.
