You know the seasons are changing when the American white pelicans return to the Colorado plains. I saw the first at a distance a couple of weeks ago but last weekend, another gave me a nice flyby.
I am always amazed at how graceful these huge birds are as they soar and that white plumage is beautiful, especially when set against a typically clear, deep blue Colorado sky.
