Mom was coming home yesterday from the Toy Drive and stopped at Uncle Marks house. She was so surprised at what she saw leaving Uncle Marks house on the lake across the street, American White Pelican's.
Maybe not surprised but more like shocked, we don't normally get
pelicans in Tennessee.
Uncle Mark told her he read up on them and learned they stopped here
on their way south for the winter from up north.
Mom was just wishing she had the zoom lens.
She pointed out the mass of white up in the back of the lake over the walkway to the boat dock. It is more of them birds. Mom said it looked like 100 of them.
Mom also found out that they came through and stopped in this
same spot two years ago. But no one saw them last yr.
Mom also said that there were a lot of fish jumping
in the lake but due to not being able to see them before
they jumped to know that they were going to jump out
of the water she could not get a shot.
So she settled for an oak leave floating on the water.
As a cat, I would probably want to chase one of those birds but that many would scare me!

Wow! That is a big surprise! We see pelicans a lot here but that's unusual for Nashville
ReplyDeleteNow that's a lovely view. Beautiful.

Yes, isn't that strange. We have seen a few at our lake over the years.
ReplyDeleteI think pelicans are super cool. Thanks to your mom for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI would be even more surprised if I saw them here :-))))
