pelicans ....

We've opened the cabin and have been keeping busy with restoring order inside and out. My fella decided to rebuild the verandah railing and since there is a garden in front of it I was happy that he decided to prioritize this job - it's still too soon to plant in that location.  I've cleaned up the gardens and planted onions.  We've had some HOT weather - 27C hot - quite unexpected - most enjoyable.  

On a trip to the cabin in April we encountered lots of pelicans on one of the rivers that we have to cross - there are hundreds congregating here - they were still there on this last trip.  In the photo you will see what looks like a circle  of pelicans and we believe this is where the new chicks are being cared for and protected.








There are lots of birds around - many are visiting on their migration north  - they're enjoying our diner and keeping us entertained.  ^^

I'm pretty new to your blog so I'm curious about your cabin. Do you use it for occasional getaways or spend summers there? I'm now sitting here dreaming of a verandah overlooking a garden...lol

Wonder what a group of pelicans are called? Are they native birds or just visiting?

I am sure you are happy to be getting back to the cabin and having better weather.
That is an amazing site, no pelicans here.
