The sky was the most beautiful blue today, wasn't it?! Especially when, while wandering among the king and queen's minstrels, ladies and gentlemen in waiting, beefeater guards, and other oddly dressed and acting folk, we looked up and sighted one of the most beautiful things in all bird-dom: A flight of 25-35 White Pelicans with their black wing-tips flashing in the sun. There were other ooh's and aah's, so others in the vicinity saw them too!
Another bird was soaring with the flock; it was dark and had just as large a wing-span with a flat soaring flight, so I'm guessing it was an immature Bald Eagle. If you stand still and look up too long though, someone will run into you... I saw 2 other adult eagles during the day. I was watching one during a comedy show; you know the kind, where you get singled out to "help" in some way? So I tried to stay incognito as I looked up - then I remembered! I had my sunglasses on, so they couldn't really tell what I was looking at!! Whew, that was a close one...
