We got a real treat over the weekend-watching the large white pelicans on the Lake in the Ozarks.
Saw singles fly by and then pairs over the weekend. Then late yesterday two large flocks of them. We watch them catch fish, one even went after a seagull
I found this video on Facebook from our conservation dept.
Also found this photos online of the pelicans on Lake in the Ozarks
Wen they fly you can see the black under their wings.
Today was rainy in the morning but rest of our day has been cool, dreary and windy.
It has been a year since I have spent any time in my craft room. I have done a few things on the couch but not in my room. Needs a super good clean for sure.to rid the dust in there, but it felt good. I am setting myself up to make Thanksgiving cards to mail out to friends. Will be something fun for me.
Off to get up the steps and hill to check the mail-it has gotten windy and quite cold out there now-feels like a cold fall day. we have been spoiled for sure.
Happy Monday
I have always wanted to see at least one pelican. How cool to be able to see them right from your house. Janice
ReplyDeletewhen we first moved to the lake had no idea I would see pelicans here. Over the weekend we watched them all day long-they must be getting ready to migrate out.
DeleteOh and I heard loons over the weekend too-didn't see them yet though. some migrate here over the winter months
DeleteA good time of year for the for the room! -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteYes hugs
DeleteThis was a lovely blog post. Happy Monday to you! My autumn season is going well. We had a busy weekend as we got a new cabinet painting in our kitchen. Hopefully I can see some Pelicans soon, they look fun!
ReplyDeletethe pelicans are very fun to watch
DeleteIt is so wonderful to watch them fly. They're like dinosaurs with wings and those beaks or are they bills? Well I suppose we all have bills. Kathy! Thanks for sharing honey
ReplyDeleteHi Claudia they are so fun to watch thanks for dropping by
DeleteIs that unusual to have them on your lake?
ReplyDeleteMy craft room needs a good clean but I have so many projects going at once that there is no cleaning it right now

No these pelicans migrate and stop at lake in the ozarks for a bit in early spring and in the fall. I need to at least get the vacuum in and do a bit dusting
DeleteWow. We don't have pelicans here in NH so that must have been great to see. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI was so surprised to see them when we first came to the lake in the ozarks. they migrate and stop here for a bit in the spring and fall
DeleteI am thankful that Thanksgiving is late this year so I have a bit more time to get ready. I am in a cleaning mood after the long hot, dry summer. It has been a rainy day here. We may need a fire in the stove this week. We sometimes go to the river/lake to see the pelicans. Mary @hilltop post
ReplyDeleteHi Mary I have been in cleaning mode too I am kinda slow going with that but needs to get done. cool that you can watch the pelicans too
DeleteI don't see pelicans over here....they are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI was so surprised to see them here on the lake thought they were ocean birds but this makes a good stop for them on their journey
DeleteWhat an absolutely beautiful sight, Kathy.
ReplyDeleteit was he pelicans are so fun I also heard a loon too
DeletePelicans!!! How wonderful Kathy!!!! I always love seeing them when i go to the beach... Talking about wonderful sights.... Kathy in her craftroom must have been a wonderful sight to see.! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteSmiling when I got in my craft room to workout thanksgiving cards it popped in my mind a year since working in there-sad but feels good
DeleteAlthough interesting birds, I am not a fan. They can devastate fish in a lake, especially in the spring when the fry are hatched and vulnerable.
ReplyDeletethey do scoop up a lot of fish we watched one go after a seagull
DeleteOne pelican once went after me. I´m rather scared, hence ;-) I didn´t even had any food.
ReplyDeleteGood for you to get creative again. I still can´t...
