Ignoring a Showoff!

That is what it looked like anyway! My first thought was that it was doing the two step! When the White Pelican did some stretching, the Cormorant turned its head as if to ignore. I learned that Cormorants and Pelicans can often be found together. Several times I have seen them together singly, but have also seen a lone Cormorant accompanying a group of Pelicans. There has to be something to their companionship. These two were at Kirk Pond.

What a catch, love that interaction, perhaps the Pelican is just showing off standing on one leg.

So funny, Vern! I love the unique pose of the pelican, and the way the cormorant is talking, to himself maybe (?) LOL I wonder what he is saying. ;)
