Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - A Most Magical White Christmas!
Dreams do come true! I got to have a special white Christmas, a white pelican Christmas that is. And dolphins too! Thanks to a good friend, I got to see these beauties and have a dog photoshoot too!
Mona dropped me at an Island where I spent about 30 minutes hanging out with all kinds of birds. There must have been at least 70 white pelicans on the island and another 70 on the shore resting.
They are not just gorgeous but also huge! They have the second largest wingspan of any northern bird after the California condor. I find them to be more shy than the brown pelicans who sometimes have no boundaries.
They don’t drive for their food like the brown pelicans but feed by plunging their beak into the water. When they move and feed they do it in perfect harmony as if they are one.
Stay tuned for more tales!
The last one is 1 minute 14 second video where you can see them feeding, riding the current, walking and resting.
