This silly Pelican was just walking around in the middle of the road.
I have signed up for an Ultra marathon in December so I have been trying to get back into running. However, birding so hard the past 8 months has rendered me a little more plump than I usually am and my knees and joints are not liking the running due to the extra weight. So even though Saturday was my morning (Melissa is running Sunday), I had sore knees and decided to go birding instead. Its that easy changing my mind when it comes to birding!!
Periodically I go to the Battleship in Wilmington to try for rails first thing in the morning. This morning (Saturday) I happened to wake early so I figured I might as well check if the migrating rails are back. After walking the reed line back and forth I flushed this Sora who was obliging but unfortunate the low light made for a horrible picture.
Sora - see yellow legs and short stubby yellow bill. Not an ideal picture but diagnostic and good enough for my photographic big year.
I stopped at Greenfield Lake on the way home to see if the warblers were starting to show up but it was slow. However, I did get this nice Red-tailed Hawk.
Great Times.
