Getting Ready for the Day by Debra Martz After doing some early fishing, this American White Pelican stood on one of the edges of the spillway preening its feathers as if getting ready for the day! ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved In My Gallery/Collection: "Feathered Friends 2" 20211003-DSC_6991 Image captured from the South Spillway of the Great Salt Plains Lake located in northern Oklahoma near the towns of Jet and Cherokee.

Early Morning American White Pelicans in Black and White by Debra Martz I love fall migration in northern Oklahoma. The American White Pelicans, Cormorants, Seagulls of several varieties arrive in large numbers as a resting area for a few weeks as they fish the waters of the lake, river and at the spillway. Two pelicans here are taking a brief break from fishing the waters at the spillway. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved In My Gallery/Collections: "Feathered Friends 2" 20211003-DSC_6944-Edit.tif

Meeting on the Edge by Debra Martz This group of American White Pelicans seemed to be content just chillin' on the edge of the spillway. Some doing a little preening and others just looking around, as if wondering what to do for the day. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved In My Gallery/Collection: "Feathered Friends 2" 20211001-DSC_6642-Edit.tif Original photograph captured in northern Oklahoma during fall migration at the south spillway in the Great Salt Plains State Park. Painterly effect created in Topaz with multiple layers.

More Pelicans Cormorants and Gulls Arriving at the Spillway by Debra Martz It is a continual thing of the migrating birds coming and going all day for several weeks in the fall. The spillway is multi-tiered and the middle seems to be the most popular with the birds. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved In My Gallery/Collection: "Feathered Friends 2" 20211001-DSC_6612.NEF
