Well lots of people may see the flood as a problem but this bird sees the opportunity. Isn't that just the way life is? Some see the spot on the window and some see the beautiful view out that same window. This is a Blue Heron. Egrets and Herons are common here in the warmer months-this is the first I have seen for the season.
I saw a lot of White Pelicans today too but I don't have a good enough camera to get a decent pic. If you have ever been to the beach in Florida especially on the east coast you have likely seen Brown Pelicans flying all in a row, undulating and barely flapping their wings. White Pelicans do that but they also fly in formation sometimes and when they want to gain altitude they fly in circles gradually moving higher and higher. When they want to come closer to the ground they do the same thing in reverse. It is awesome to watch as they seem to disappear and then reappear as they complete that circle. I guess it's the way the light hits them. You have to see it to believe it. You might think Pelicans are ugly but they are beautiful when they are flying. And we are in their migratory route so we see them sometimes by the tens of thousands. An incredible sight that I wish I could share with all of you.
