We get pelicans in Upper Michigan occasionally but they're usually too far out on the water to get a true sense of their size.

I was very very surprised. Also some glossy ibises up there. I guess on their way somewhere. I don't know much about either species. Feeding wildlife doesn't seem a great idea to me....though I do have a birdbath out. Everybody needs some water now and then. It is frozen at the moment, and not likely to thaw out until Wednesday, if then. Meanwhile, glad you see you are a Travels with Charley fan. Didn't know you were a reader. Can you still do it with your bum eye?JudithKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00624192907254384403noreply@blogger.com
