I got out to the park a couple of days ago, and saw this all white rock, and not one turtle on it. I have never seen these pelicans here before. Just while I was sitting there watching them more groups kept flying in and landing up the river from these. Too far for my camera, but had to be between 60-80 by the time I quit seeing them coming. After a while most of them flew on down to the dam, and landed just below it. WOW!
I went back yesterday and they were still there. Like I’ve always said, you never know what you’ll see in this river. Bro B said he was walking down the road from his house, which is in a pasture, and it was night time a few weeks ago, and he heard this noise that put the hair up on his neck,,and he went home! Said it sounded like some kind of big cat. The house is the last one in the city limits, and just 1/2 block from the river. And yeah, we know there are such things around…N sees them regularly.
My dotter here in town, blocks from me, has 2 great horned owls there a lot. There’s a huge creek by her and it’s been left in the wild, all grown up. One just sat there in the top of a tree and watched me the other day. I hear them from the river, over the hill from me.
We raised one one time. Went home one nite and he was walking around on the street, under a street lite, eating crickets…lololol. Most fascinating thing we ever raised.
Well, folks,,that’s it. Yall tc, and
HAGD
Wow, that was neat seeing those Pelicans and raising an Owl. We mostly have Barred Owls around here. Did they ever see the big cat that Bro B heard? It makes life more exciting to have wild life like that around.
ReplyDeleteBarred owl? I ain't never heared of no barred owl, so I googled it. Why didn't say it was HOOT owl?
DeleteThe great horned owl is the one we always called the Hoot owl, and that's what we named the one we raised. The barred maybe is barn?,,,
DeleteNo not there by his house, but 12 miles W where my sis live, yes,,she has, with little ones sometimes, too.
ReplyDeleteLots of wildlife out where you live. Beautiful pelicans.
ReplyDeleteHad to laugh when I looked at the date on the photo 1-23-2070...I will have been long dead by then :)
lol gave up on that date thing, the batteries always have to be moved around to make the camera work, so the date is never right.
DeleteWhere in TX are you and where did they hear the big cat? I am volunteering at Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge and last week a hunter, on the refuge, saw a Cougar/Mountain Lion.
