HAPPY NEW WEEK!
I hope everyone has a healthy, safe, serene week!
Outdoor Indiana, the photographic publication produced by the state of Indiana, said that the American White Pelicans are now in the southern part of the state! They're migrating north to their breeding grounds in Canada, and they should appear on the lakes in my area very soon! They're one of the largest birds in N. America with a wingspan of 9 feet. I'm always very excited to see them, because they're beautiful and their presence here means that SPRING IS COMING!!! This winter has been a particularly hard one for me. I've really felt the cold, so I'm ecstatic that warm temps are around the corner. WOO HOO!!!
100s of beautiful Sandhill Cranes are also landing on the winter hills and the river flats of Indiana right now on their migration. There will be a few rare Whooping Cranes mixed in with the Sandhills.

Sailboats were enjoying a sunny morning, with a light but cold wind pushing them along.
