Our spring migration has been scant this year. The lake opened up so late that most of the birds that usually come here found other places to go. That said, we are still getting an occasional small group of late comers which I am very grateful for.
A small band of Lesser Scaups ... they stayed around for several days. Our weather is so unpredicable now that when it turns cold it is hard to catch an updraft to get high enough to ride the thermals.
And we did finally get a few Cormorants and Pelicans ... late comers. Nothing like the big flocks that have come in years past. But, I am happy do get even one ...

Oh, yes!! Awesome sightings indeed!! I do love your last shot in particular!!
A lovely serie of photos!
A perfect WBW-post!
Andrea, wonderful sightings of the eagles. And I love the White Pelican.. Thanks for sharing, have a happy week!
Feathered enchantment.
Brain farts are so common...no need to apologize for them, especially when you have such beautiful photos.
Ah, well...it happens. I think it was just because she was ruffled up. It is easy to get caught up in the migration identifying, too. You hope to see something different. The Eagles are amazing.
I love watching the birds coming through. The pelicans are neat, I don't see them here.
HI Andrea What lovely bird sighting.
awesome eagle sighting!!
Lol, I love senior moments. I run around shouting, "Chloe, come look at the...the...little brown bird!" All the time. She goes, "you mean the starling, mom?" "Yeah...that's it!" Lucky girl that you get pelicans. It's very rare that I see one here, but I love them. :)
lvoed to see your eagle-tree :) I can´t remember seeing that many eagles at one time. But they are rather rare in Sweden.
I get excited about "our" three eagles -- you have so many... wonderful. And all the other birds...a lovely post. Great birding where you live. Thanks for sharing it.
Oh so neat to spot the young eagles. Loved your Pelican too.
Fabulous sightings.
