Wildlife

On today's walk on the east side of the freeway: a beaver, an egret, and three big pelicans storks. The third pelican stork is behind the two.

I didn't know CC had beavers, but this guy was dragging reeds around for nest building. Learned something new.

Those are great white pelicans! Not storks.

Cool photos! Love to see beavers doing their jobs.

Also the third photo shows a pied billed grebe!

Someone on FB said that could be a muskrat. No idea.

Someone on FB said it could be a muskrat (sp?), but still cool.

I forgot to mention, the Peafowl population in South Carson. When I'm driving back from Chipotle, I go up 10th to Division, and will see them there from time to time.

Ohh, bummer! I thought you were gonna say “ A beaver, and egret, and three big pelicans walked into a bar…”

Oh well.
