<div dir="auto">I live in Goodhue County on the far west shoreline of Lake Byllesby. As the Sun began to go down, a large flock (@15-20)of White Pelicans w/ their underside black wingtips flew by in formation going south to north. <div dir="auto">For a brief moment, they banked right and the western sunlight caught their bright white bodies w/black marking <b>just right! </b></div><div dir="auto">The flock was held in relief against a contrasting backdrop of blue, light blue, and white clouds. </div><div dir="auto">A pretty site to see! Oh ....to have had a camera to capture that.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, May 7, 2024, 6:12 PM John Hamer via Mnbird <<a href="mailto:mnbird@lists.mnbird.net">mnbird@lists.mnbird.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Last weekend my son and his son went fishing on the Mississippi near the entry of the Minnesota river. No fish but we watched a pair of double crested cormorants work the river up and down. We also saw a kingfisher. Today I saw one of the barn swallows fly by. I don't know if there will be food for them. I don't see many insects around here. I Have not seen one pollinator on the blooming trees. Last year we launched three young. They build their nests on top of the lights in the entryway to the Glenn.<div><br></div><div>John Hamer</div></div>
