I heard there were some Pelicans in Edgewater, and I hadn’t been there in several years, so I went early this morning. It’s one of those places where you have to wait for someone to open the gate, and they were late, so I climbed the fence.

I walked the 200 yard beach without seeing much except gulls and herons, then I noticed a fishing weir some ways out, and there was a Brown Pelican perched on it. Not a great shot, but I’ll take it as we don’t usually get a lot of Pelicans. I found a few small birds in the beach grass, and several Flickers as well.

A later stop at Quiet Waters drew a blank.

Sunrise at the beach.

My favorite cove at Quiet Waters.

Many Dark Eyed Juncos were feeding in the grass.

Another Heron silhouette.

The beach faces East, so morning shots tend to be into the Sun. like this Great Blue Heron.

Several Northern Flickers were feeding in the grass.

A distant Brown Pelican.

Not quite a Super Moon.
