Day 302 - a Year by the Sea
Yes, this is a pelican. No, I did not see it at Belle Isle Marsh. I just got back from the Outer Banks of North Carolina. For someone used to his own neighborhood marsh, it came as something of a shock to see a marsh several miles wide and twenty or more miles long. There were birds everywhere. We had Boat-tailed Grackles outside our room and they are now the winners of the most annoying bird sound award. They are very aggressive birds and their antics are entertaining but their calls are far from musical. One of the highlights this spring for me was seeing a Tricolored Heron but in North Carolina, it was just a middling interesting bird. It was a great trip and a pilgrimage for me to Kitty Hawk. I have always wanted to see the dunes that the Wright Brothers first flew from. There was a monument and a museum and it was all that I had hoped to see. When you first see the markers that stand at the end of their first three powered flights, it is an amazing sight. From that piddling distance to now, that is the difference between 800 feet and a trip to the moon. Back to the marsh tomorrow.
Ciao!
