Hitting The Slush?

A brown pelican, from earlier this week, skis into the salt marsh almost making the water look like slushy snow. With those big pelican feet, they probably would make very good water or snow skiers.

Does look like ice. I guess I was not too far off last post. They still must be pleased it is warm waters. Nice image to make one wonder.

This scene is so much more tropical than where I’ve been lately. Fantastic capture in such motion.

  We are expecting a real warm up too! Wonder if we will get a surprise spoonbill visit like last April?
