Wild Weather Tips from Pelican, Great Egret, and Cormorant

Brown Pelican. Why yes, it is raining. Bradenton, FL (January 2019)

It's been rainy. I head out to watch the birds and gain tips on how to live when life, I mean when the weather roars. Here are a few birds showing us how to be with what shows up.

Great Heron all a ruffle. 


A downpour might feel blurry and confused. But look here, Great Egret stays the course.


Brown Pelican looks a lot like an Anhinga in this photograph.


Pelican is hanging out in the weather.

And this one. Find a friend to "let it be" with. I'm imagining Brown Pelican teaching Cormorant to open up rather than close tight when things get tough.
