Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode- Osprey Raspberry and Dolphin Play

Yesterday the birds were a bit cranky. Skylar the osprey flew in to hang out on the railing of the nearby condo. She screeched for at least 30 minutes, so loudly I got out out of the water to get closer and snap her photo. She was talking to her reflection in the window then turned around and continued to vent very loudly!

Dolphins came in and all day for a little play but mostly to relax. When they left then went to the shore across the river to grab snacks then came back to chill and roll around.

Pip the pelican and several other pelicans were hanging out too. Pip got a little grumpy with another immature pelican and grabbed her neck with his beak. This is pretty common to see when pelicans get grumpy. I think it’s a good sign Pip feels strong enough to try to be dominant. I was relieved to see no-one was injured and they continued to fish together after the little squabble.

Never a dull moment in the lagoon! Stay tuned for more tales!

That’s Pip the pelican grabbing another pelicans neck. Not to worry, no one was injured and they continued to fish together.
