One never knows what you are going
to encounter around this "ranch"
As I was traveling to work yesterday, hubby called and told me he was in the bathroom and looked out the window to see a DUCK in the tree!! "A duck!" I exclaimed, "Did you get a picture??" and the answer was YES!!! A shot of a very charming wood duck. |
| can you find the female??? |

Pelican Update...
I have received a couple emails somewhat skeptical of my really seeing PELICANS in Nebraska (all in good fun:) I would never kid about pelicans in Nebraska.
Last saturday before the big storm arrived I risked life and limb to capture these shots.
Well not really, but do you know how difficult it is to sneak up on 200--yes, 200 pelicans in the rain?!?!?
Here's a few shots of those pelicans on the neighbor's pond.

| this is about 1/2 of them, had to zoom in so you can tell they are PELICANS!! |

| Yep, they're pelicans.. |

| Got spooked and away they went... |

ReplyDeleteand cool to see the whole 'herd' of pelicans stopping in!!! :)
wow all these in Nebraska..how cool...
ReplyDeletenever seen a duck in a tree, but since they fly i guess they can roost. those pelicans are AWESOME! i saw 3 white ones at the beach but only those three in my life time, wow
ReplyDeleteThat's the first time I've ever seen a duck in a tree! And those pelican pics are amazing! Do you think it's because of the crazy weather?
ReplyDeleteHi Val, I loved the wood ducks-the male is so beautiful! As for Pelicans, we are just down from you in Colorado and we have them migrate from Spring to Fall-we have thousands so it only makes sense you would get a visit too.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful evening.

I've never seen a duck in a tree or a duck with red eyes. He is a handsome little duck.
ReplyDeleteHow cool to see all those pelicans!
I don't think I've ever seen that many at once.
Pelicans in Nebraska, who'd have thought! LOL
ReplyDeleteA duck in a tree, there's a joke there somewhere.
