Shutterbug: Winter Vacationer


We were out near the barn prepping for the single digit weather that is taking over for the next few days (a rarity in Texas). We were surprised by this visitor swimming in one of the tanks. Seems like this pelican is taking a 300 mile inland vacation. Not a good time to leave the coast, if you ask me!

  1. Hey Sandy! That is a white pelican and are very common in this area. It's cousin the brown pelican stays close to coastal areas. Cedar Creek lake has the Mose concentration of them.

  2. Wow. These are great photos. I like these photos most especially the first one. The background looks very compelling. I love the way you captured the pelican.
