Here is a little, brown, burrowing owl. It is just peaking out from the leaves as if to say “Peak-A-Boo.” It is spectacular in its own way.

This is an image of a pelican flying near a dock on Lake Winnipeg. I like the way he or she delicately takes off from the rocks to fly and seems to be saying “Look Ma, I can fly!” The other pelican is oblivious and looks like he or she is saying, “Boy, I don’t care. Stop showing off my brother/sister (pick one). We can all do that! Who really cares! I am going to ignore you.”
Their large beak and large throat pouch is used for catching fish and not carrying babies as fairy tales would have us believe. Too bad! They range in many areas and fossil evidence show that they date back to 30 million years ago. They are gregarious birds who hunt cooperatively and breed colonially. Pelicans are found on inland lakes and costal waters.
According to Wikipedia, “They have suffered from habitat destruction, disturbance and environmental pollution, and three species are of conservation concern. They also have a long history of cultural significance in mythology, and in Christian and heraldic iconography.”
