Love on the Water

It was an enjoyable afternoon watching this motley crew co-exist on a log in the water. What can I say? I'm easily amused.
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!

  10. Oh so there are cliches in animals groups too. So funny.

    Yes, 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.

  11. 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 ...

  13. 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.

  22. This 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.

  25. Just found this, Gail. Amazing photography, and a story that put a big grin on my face! Thank you!

  26. An 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.

  27. Darned 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!:-)
