On a Short Trip

A week ago, we made a short trip to Sauvie Island in Northern Oregon.  Since the airport is near, we often saw an airplane instead of a real bird.  They were a Delta Airlines, an Alaska Airlines, and a Southwest Airlines.  The Southwest was bright and clear against the sky.


The first day, we saw a dozen American White Pelicans, flying together with a couple of Sandhill Cranes far away.

"The summer is back today."


We spent a night at a nearby town and returned to the refuge in the morning for the better bird watching.  Soon, a couple of the Pelicans flew right over us.  First they were too close to have a clear photo.  So I adjusted the lens length for a better photo.


"We are in the Wildlife Refuge, so we are safe here."
