ORMOND BEACH, FL - - Sometimes the birds you've been looking for show up literally in your backyard. OK so maybe a block away. We live one block from the Halifax river and while we have flocks of seagulls and lots of brown pelicans plus egrets and herons we don't see much more variety. So imagine my surprise on a late morning (Tuesday) walk when I spotted a huge (for white pelicans) group of about 30 on a mid-river gravel bar. And then a merganser popped up.
The pelicans were spread out in groups and the merganser was alone. They were still there after I hustled back to the house for my camera and a long lens. In bird photography we've found you can be good, but being lucky helps out a whole lot.
