Every spring through early summer we have discovered an exciting group of visitors to our neighborhood! Pelicans! Some of you may know that our house backs up to a wilderness preserve. Just beyond a tree line is a pond. It has become the local hangout for hundreds of birds. If we want to see the birds up close we drive on the road that cuts through the pond. The pelicans come in huge flocks of between 10-40 birds at a time. We were driving past a few days ago and there was a huge flock, but by the time we quickly drove home to get the camera they had mostly left. They are so neat to see fly. They are huge birds and when they fly their wings look like shining silver! You never know what you will see!

I don't know if I could handle being reminded of how many days I had left to be pregnant. That makes it seems really long. I am excited for you to break the 200 mark in the next couple of days though. We'll have to come by and see the bird show. You can bring your family out this way if you want the rabbit show. It's a fun show because it's kind of like frogger trying not to run any of them over.
Those were great pictures! How close to your house are they? Way cool and thanks for sharing!
It is kinda fun to have all the nature right in our neighborhood!
Those are great pics, heath! Your kids always know the most random birds names because of all the wild life behind your house!
So fun! I'll bet the boys just love it! You guys have so much adventure in your lives!
