I went on a bike ride on the River Parks Trails along the Arkansas River here in Tulsa and took along my “good” camera.
I found this pod of American White Pelicans. I think a couple of them are sleeping.
I am thinking these are female mallard ducks but I am not sure. If I am wrong let me know!
I love Great Blue Herons. They are a bird that no matter where I go, I see them. And those pose beautifully for inept picture takers like me.
And a Great Egret snoozing away in the river. Google lens says this is an American White Pelican. I don’t think that is right!! Maybe AI’s takeover of the world is not going well.
And from the backyard. I love cardinals, so bright chirpy.
That’s it for this week. I am linking with Saturday’s Critters.
…thanks for the pelicans, they are something that I never see here.
Beautiful series of photos.
I also think the last photo is a great egret.
I also find the American white pelicans very beautiful.
I wish you a lovely weekend.
All the best, Irma
I’ve thought about getting a new bike but thought I would miss taking pics. I need to learn your skill of doing both! Fun photos! Hugs, Diane
