Early Morning Pelicans by Debra Martz The pelicans and a few other birds were staring to wakeup and move about...except that middle one didn't seem quite ready for the day.

Arriving A Bit Weathered and Worn by Debra Martz Over the first few weeks of October the American White Pelicans arrive daily on their fall migration from the north. This one was looking a bit haggard from its travels so I brighten it up a bit by adding some textures and painterly effects.

Angry Egret by Debra Martz Snowy Egrets are fun too watch as they are full of attitude! They are quite territorial, too, when it comes to who's fishing where! The lower, angry looking Snowy was going from side to side of this penisula chasing off other snowies! The American White Pelican just carried on with its fishing. Captured below the spillway at Great Salt Plains Lake in northern Oklahoma. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved In My Gallery/Collection: "Feathered Friends2" 20200729-DSC_8512.NEF

Quiet Alone Time ©Debra Martz While there were 1000s of American White Pelicans on the lake, this one found a bit of space to just float around in peace and quiet.

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.

American White Pelican Early Morning Blues by Debra Martz I had been watching the Pelicans at the spillway for over 45 minutes with some fishing together and others alone like this one. The morning light plays an important part of the colors of the water. Only 18 minutes earlier the water was all solid gold during the golden hour; now only parts of the ripples are still reflecting that gold. Captured at the Great Salt Plains in northern Oklahoma during fall migration. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved In My Galleries/Collections: "Feathered Friends 2" 20210929-DSC_6303.NEF

Louisiana. A great gift idea for someone from Louisiana. Weather for a Birthday, Christmas, or as a gift in general, it makes a great gifting item on a T-shirt, mug, hoodie and many more.

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
