Hi Linda: Ditto to what Kay says. Nice photos of the PF, but my favorites are the pelicans in flight (perfect formation).

Linda, thanks for all the wonderful nature pictures. Big eagle nests. I think the little white ducks with the small bill are called White Call Duck. I love all your pict. great time did you have!

Hi Linda, I looked back to get caught up with you and you continue to delight with all the wildlife and your wonderful photographs. The little red squirrel is fun to see and the eagles are magnificent to see. The Belted Kingfisher a real cutie. I hope that eagle just had dust in h/h eye. That's really funny how the eagle is giving you the 'evil eye'. My goodness, deer, crows, GB Herons, Mallards, Gulls, White Pelicans and oh those Peregrines! What a wildlife-rich area you have there. You are very blessed. I'm so glad you bring them to us.

You are an outstanding photographer and human being, too, Linda. We and all wildlife thank you. I know you said you were going to experiment with ISO settings and I do think your photos are progressively getting better and better. I am enjoying viewing all your images.

Linda, here's the link for the CTV video on Pelly, the White Pelican, now at Wild ARC: Pelly, the White Pelican

And here's the link to the video on YouTube: Pelly, the White Pelican

Thanks so very much Anna, Annie, Elle, Kay, Scott, and Ed for stopping by and leaving your so kind comments and thoughts. Nature sure is beautiful and I love sharing it with all of you, so it is my pleasure.:nod:

Kay, Thank you for the video links to Pelly the rescued American Pelican. It is wonderful that that beautiful bird was saved. I shared the video with EA.

Hey Lori, Great to see you stop by, wow, that is quite a run down. I had forgot about some of those critters. Thanks for your great comments. I have done some research and checked with a conservation officer down on the river. The falcons I have been seeing are Peregrine Falcons and they are year round residents in this area. They nest in the cliffs, so now I have to start watching for their nests. What's one more nest to watch.
