All alone again

Taken in the first year I started photographing birds (2014). I don't have any others of this species

I just flew in and boy are my arms tired!

Winner! Take it away Snake

First time my wife saw one alive

2 of 5 I saw on this trip

Almost stepped on this guy

Adaptation at play here. If the pelican were successful, it could be a catalyst that starts a pelican population that hunt other birds and, given enough time, a new species of pelican.

Did it get eaten?

thanks!

Whoa, that is exactly right! Thanks a ton. Never would have gotten that on my own. Merlin says its rare in my area. There were two but they didn't stay around the trail very long

Taken a week or so ago in Corpus Christi, Tx. I can't find anything that matches well, either visually or audibly. My best guess would be a Bronzed Cowbird

Taken a few days ago in Aransas, Texas (next door to Corpus Christi). Based on my searching (birds.cornell.edu/crows/mlarkdiff.htm), an Eastern has white on the lower mandible whereas Westerns have yellow. Would you agree that this photo is of an Eastern? It was not singing or calling.

The electricity keeping their toes-ies warm?
