The Pelicans Are Still Here....

Or at least two of them are still here! On our trip to Baton Rouge the other day to take care of mom's banking issues, we were a little early for the bank appointment after times got shifted to later in the day. My hubby had alreadty picked up his table saw and also stopped to pick up a quick bite to eat. I suggested that we stop by the lake behind the State Capital building. It is a beautiful area with walking paths, ducks and in the winter time white pelicans! I didn't think about the pelicans until we drove up and I saw two swimming in the lake. I checked the rest of the lake area that I could view and did not see any more pelicans. They have either already migrated back up north or possibly at the City Park Lake or the LSU lakes. I used to work right across the street from the lake where the pelicans are in the photograph. It was my first job with the State of Louisiana in the Buildings and Grounds Department. I worked in the purchasing department. It was only two of us and we stayed busy ordering all the supplies for the grounds and carpenter shops. Photo is of the two white pelicans. It would be cool if they decide to make Baton Rogue their home base! Only time will tell. Photo Credit: © 2021 Karen Gros, All rights reserved
