I took a bike ride on Tulsa’s RiverParks trails alongside the Arkansas River. There were lots of pelicans out and about that day.
Some standing on a sandbar preening themselves.
Others jostling for position just downstream of Zink Dam.
They are such funny looking creatures except when they fly. Then they are very graceful.
Sorry for the fuzzy closeup.
I am linking with Eileen’s Saturday’s Critters.
My favorites, the white pelicans. I love these birds, a great sighting.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
…pelicans can go all the way up to South Dakota, they don’t seem to want to come up here. Great pictures, Alan.
Awesome! Love seeing pelicans. Those beaks!
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen one in the flesh, well, feathers!
Must be a lot of fish in there to attract that many.
They really are beautiful in flight but I love seeing a nice big flock like this any time!
Hello :=)
Wonderful captures of the White Pelicans. A fine flock of them.
Really pretty birds, you got some good closeup photos of them. Birds here are usually too quick for me.
Bellos pelícanos,.Te mando un beso.
I can’t imagine how they can preen with those long beaks. I loved the first and last shots (I didn’t mind the blurryness of the last shot – instead, I was looking at the sparkle of the sun on the water.)
Your fuzzy shot is actually awesome.
