A White Landing

When I took off for my walk this morning, there was some pretty fog on the golf course. I grabbed my camera that I keep hidden in the van, and tried to get a few shots. Not so great of the fog, but I decided to lug the camera around with me, getting a few good reflection photos.

I was all set to use one of them, until I saw the flying white pelicans. I rarely see them flying, and if they do it is usually very high in the sky.

I'm not sure how I feel about the white pelicans. While I appreciate their natural beauty, they also tend to "bully" their smaller cousins...the brown pelicans. Since the whites don't dive for their food, they are always looking to pilfer from the browns. I really don't see how they maintain their size. All I ever see them doing is lounging and preening.
