060520 Boomer Lake's "Greats" Are In Town Today


                                                         American White Pelican AKA                                                   
                                                              Great White Pelican



                                                            Great Crested Flycatcher 1



                                                           Great Crested Flycatcher 2

The Great White Pelican and Great Crested Flycatcher wanted to be highlighted today, so here they are.

The Great White Pelican was observed on the south side of Shorebird Jetty among Canada Geese.  It was the only pelican on the lake today.  This shot was obtained as it circled the area between Shorebird Jetty and Heron Cove.

Writer had several contacts with the Great Crested Flycatcher over the past week or so.  For the past couple of days, a parent has been bringing a juvenile around, which writer met yesterday (060420) at Heron Cove.  Today, they both appeared just before I did at the deciduous woods across from Kicker.

The adult called several times and evidently the juvenile liked me, as it stayed in the same area that I was in, permitting several shots.  What good fortune.
