I love pelicans. They are so beautiful when they soar. They make it look effortless.

And when they dive to get a fish, the power and control take my breathe away.

I think it has to do with their hanging out at the dump or flying along side a boat and begging. However, these chicks are rather cute, the spotted down is beautiful.

What the Robin Told – Author Uknown

The wind
told the grasses,
And the grasses
told the trees.
The trees
told the bushes,
And the bushes
told the bees.
The bees
told the robin,
And the robin
sang out clear:
Wake up!
Wake up!
Spring is here!

These gorgeous birds are pukeko. They were under the tree.
