HUNDREDS OF PELICANS

Rockwall, TX

I was standing on the deck before the shoot last night when I looked up and saw hundreds of American White Pelicans flying in large circles soaring towards the lake. There will definately be an early winter. They normally come in around mid to late October and leave in early April. They are way early this year. This was just a small portion of them. I'll be adding a couple of other shots that will show you more of the number of them. Not great shots since they were high up but you can see the volume of how many come to the DFW area to wait out winter.
