Andrea and I needed a break from packing on Saturday evening, so we headed out to Cherry River to see who was there. Andrea caught this great picture of the pelicans as they swirled around above us. There were at least 30 of them on the pond, and as you can see from their knobby bills, they are all feeling very amorous.The simple act of observation is very calming, especially when combined with the chorus of song from red-winged and yellow-headed blackbirds, geese, ducks, teals, and robins.
As I write this post, it is about 5:19 a.m. on Monday, and our backyard robin just started singing. I hope we'll have plenty of that in Portland, too!
