Pelican

Yesterday, a pelican fished in the creek but I missed getting a picture because at first I assumed I was seeing a heron fly past.  But when it plunged, I knew better.  It looked quite brown to me so maybe it was young.  Birds flitted among the trees but I couldn't identify them or catch them on camera.  House finches visited the feeder which was nearly empty.  Scattered leaves began to turn on the oak and the maple.  Today all I saw were mallards and cormorants.  The morning sky was very blue but later it grew hazy and then became streaked with clouds.
