Just popped in for a quick hello and to check what you've been posting. I'm still busy with visiting family so I'll be off for a while longer. Comments are disabled.

Saw this guy on one of our walks. Don't worry he's small and I wasn't close. Doesn't it look like he's smiling?

I'll be away from flickr for a while. I'll leave you with...oh look, it's not a bird ;)
Thanks for stopping by.

He got her this beautiful piece of home decor. Judging from her expression she might have been expecting jewelry :)

The official "Snowbird" and another first for me.

These huge, spectacular looking white birds are seen in Florida between December and March. White pelicans spend the winter in Florida and along the Gulf coast, then fly north to nest in the mid-west and central Canada. In the mating season, male white pelicans develop a fibrous plate on the upper portion of their beak and bright yellow color around the eyes.
Canadians as well as Americans from the northern states who spend thier winters in Florida are given the nickname "Snowbirds" :)

Another first for me. Thanks again Barb (Barb's World) for the i.d. you've been very helpful.
