Salinas River State Beach & Wildlife Refuge, California - Pelicans Galore

 Waning Crescent Moon

Yesterday was another socked in morning at the beach, but who cares about that. The pelicans were having a convention and there were too many to count. I love these animals, so I was in beach walk heaven.


I'm not sure whether it was the weather or season or time of day or an abundant fish hatch or what, but I was lucky to be there to see them assembled near the mouth of the Salinas River and filling the sky just offshore. 




There were seagulls there too, of course, there are always seagulls, and the curlews were doing there thing, but the pelicans stole the show this Saturday morning. All the rest of us were just spectators.



On a normal day, this old barge might have garnered most of my attention as I approached from a distance. I am sure it has some interesting tales to tell, but yesterday I didn't pay it that must attention. Yesterday was all about the pelicans.



Peace, Love, and Thanks for the Show,
Jim
