Description
This image was captured at Eagle Lake in Lassen County, California, USA. I first saw this white pelican (๐๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ค๐ข๐ฏ๐ถ๐ด ๐ฆ๐ณ๐บ๐ต๐ฉ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฉ๐บ๐ฏ๐ค๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ด) taking a nap on a rock near the shoreline. As I was walking a bit closer to it a great blue heron that I had yet to see saw ๐ฎ๐ฆ and let out the shrill shreak of, well, a blue heron (if you havenโt heard it, letโs just say the heron will never be considered a songbird). This, of course, woke the pelican and caused it to take flight, briefly making contact with the water. This is one of the frames I grabbed as the scene unfolded.
