Juvenile Brown Pelicans have brown heads and white tummies - adults have white heads and dark tummies. The young ones appeared a little earlier than normal this spring. Michael Reinhart recently photographed these two.

On a nature walk with the 3rd grade class of Arena Elementary School this past Monday, we saw seven Brown Pelicans glide by in an undulating line. The children quickly counted them!

Thanks to Mike for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

The June gloom continues. Not much wind, but it's pretty cool.

Anne Mary Schaefer noticed a River Otter at Manchester Beach.

The River Otter was harassing two birds that were identified as juvenile Black-crowned Night-herons, something you rarely get to see.

The Night-herons safely flew away.
