The cormorants are not happy. Okay now, you two! None of that funny stuff! |
Hey! This is a family lake. There are youngsters on this log. |
You two should be ashamed! Kids, look the other way. Turtles, go back in your shells! |
We're sorry... |
Shameful!! We don't need your kind around here. Scat! |
Oh, all right. Don't get your feathers in a bunch. We're leaving. Hmph! |
We're outta here. Buh-bye! |
And stay out! Good riddance! |
Linking to Wild Bird Wednesday and I'd Rather B Birdin'. Many thanks, Stewart and Anni!
These are absolutely beautiful shots! They look like friends :)
ReplyDeleteMade me smile early this morning....
ReplyDeleteI love how the turtles sit so still and jut mind their own business...
It's wonderful to be able to capture a series of shots that really do tell a story...
Great photos!!
Have a GREAT day
Yeah, get a room. Fun post, Gail.
ReplyDeleteGo to a wrong room.
ReplyDeleteBetter knock before enter.
X rated pelicans! LOL Fabulous shots Gail!
ReplyDeletetoo funny! the cormorant scoldings were great! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are incredible!
ReplyDeleteRofl....this was just too funny - thanks for a good laugh this morning. Great shots!
ReplyDeleteBeauty and humor, together in this post, Gail! Delightful to see.
ReplyDeleteWonderful study of co-existence...kind of! Ha...I'm still laughing at the captions.
ReplyDeleteExcellent photos. Around here the turtles eat baby ducks. Dianne
ReplyDeleteOh so there are cliches in animals groups too. So funny.
ReplyDeleteYes, we had had snow a few times but it all melts. Yay. We even had snow in October. I sure hope this winter is mild. It would mean a drought of a summer but heavy deep snow was last year and I don't want that repeat.
(hug) to you girlfriend.
I loved your story line ... The expressions on their faces went perfectly with your dialog. Actually the Cormorants hang with the Pelicans ... they even migrate together. I think they have a symbiotic relationship by hleping each other locate schools of fish on the lakes. Up here where there is one, somewhere near by will be the other. Nature does work in interesting ways. Great post ...

It's very instructive to see those species togther Gail. Alone you might think either species is quite big but togteher gives a whole new meaning to "size matters". Great sequence pictures.
ReplyDeleteI love the Pelican! Great shots of the Cormorants and the Pelicans!
ReplyDeleteOh sweet Gail, I am speechless :) haha Great photos, friend!
ReplyDeleteSeriously pelicans, getta room willya? Or at least go to the end of the line.
ReplyDeleteGail, all your photos are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Holland
Great shots, and your story lines to go with them were priceless!
ReplyDeleteHahahahah! I loved the taglines on the pictures Gail. Made me laugh :) They look like they were in their own world enjoying a romantic little moment. The Titanic pose in the first picture is just precious! Loved it! Much love :)
ReplyDeleteI like the pictures,but it is the story lines which make them even more special. AN to think you were photographing all this 'action'. LOL
ReplyDeleteTerrific images!!! The lighting in these photos makes your images picture post card perfect Gail.
ReplyDeleteThis might have been nothing more than a set of amazingly beautiful photographs, if it weren't for your witty commentary. So cute. I think my favorite was the 5th one, with the cormorant "lecturing" the shame-faced pelicans.
ReplyDeleteLove those white pelicans --- Go ahead -- Make more :-}}
ReplyDeleteWonderful series, Gail! Each of these photos say way more than 1,000 words. ;)
ReplyDeleteJust found this, Gail. Amazing photography, and a story that put a big grin on my face! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh..too funny!
ReplyDeleteAn awkward moment, but always nice to catch and photograph. And it makes for great commentary! The only time I've seen pelicans was during a trip to Florida.
ReplyDeleteDarned funny!!! Must tell you of a similar experience my teacher sister had last week: Mule deer are abundant in our city limits and bucks are in rut right now. My sister had a class full of freshmen and right outside the window a buck was following a doe. Attempting to dodge a "situation," my sister told her students to turn around and watch the classroom door because the principal was going to be dropping in. While they did that, my sister quickly closed the blinds covering all 4 of the big windows. She said she knew she would never get control of her class again if the buck completed his mission!:-)
ReplyDeleteFunny!!! Great captures!
ReplyDeleteHysterical! Absolutely gorgeous shots!
ReplyDeleteThat was so funny! I am giggling out loud. You are so good (well, a little bit naughty, but a darn good photographer).. thanks so much for sharing!!!!
