White pelicans are really cool. At Pea Island Refuge in the Outer Banks, the numbers climb every winter. I think there were 50 or 60 this year. The birders are still excited to see this rare bird. I didn't realize they were even further north.

I bet that the Blackwater birds have been to Pea Island. Probably wouldn't take them long to get back and forth.

The little one is always trying to figure out how he can get an advantage. He walked under the parent's tail to the other side. :loveshow:

That littlest one is a smartie! :egg119:

Awww, poor little ones . . . being introduced to the harshness of winter already. :egg15:

for a while, trying to check if the smallest is still there but I can not see him ... I hope he's hidden under other. :sad:

I think his little rear end is sticking out at the "7 o'clock" position. :egg119:

Thanks for the pics...I'm so glad to see food...I hope the little one is getting his fair share!!!

Unfortunately not, I have not seen him eat, he took too long to come out of its torpor. :sad:

Yes, it was arranged for the little guy.

Both of parents have brought some food and all the chicks were able to fill their bellies. :egg119:
