Late December, I decided to explore Bennett Bayou on one of the less cold afternoons. Since the White Pelicans stopped by, as well as very high waters from record rains.... it seemed the residents were behaving unusually. I haven't noticed pelicans at this bayou before.... it startled me by trying to land and balance on a narrow limb overhead a walkway I was standing on. This dead looking tree is one of two that several flocks of pigeons normally roost. After my surprise following his large shadow, dawned on me I should move before that limb breaks. I thought he looked a bit prehistoric in this position. Oddly he managed to situate himself and stayed there until I left the bayou. ( Edit: I apologize for the black line in the bottom, I cropped it after resizing and didn't notice the partial frame left behind until now.)
