This was way too easy. I had heard there was a Baltimore oriole that has been hanging out near the ball park at Crescent Lake Park for weeks. It was the end of December and he was a little late for fall migration. I walked down the sidewalk towards that end of the park and saw a flash of orange in the trees. There he was, hopping around looking for bugs high up. After snapping several pictures I headed over to the lake.

Across the pond I could see some white pelicans under the big banyan tree.

They were hiding in the shade so I kept going to the other end of the lake.

I found four feeding at the other end of the little lake. They would all take off together and just barely fly a little ways and do a little dip. They did this for a while

At one point it looked like they were coming straight for me.

I watched them feeding for a while. It was pretty cool how they did it all in unison.

They eventually started making their way back to the other side of the pond where their friends were hanging out.  It was a fun morning watching them in the cool sunny weather. If only the weather would stay like this all year round.
