I've shown pictures before of the Anaheim Lakes that are located behind the Starbuck's I frequent. Today there were more birds than I have seen in quite a long time. These pictures were taken through the chain link fence.
This is a lake where people pay to go inside the fence and fish. It is regularly stocked with trout and (I think) catfish. It was a gorgeous day in the mid-80s and there were a quite a few fisher people.
There was a giant flotilla of water birds - gulls, cormorants, and the migratory white pelicans. Along the shore were several dozen little egrets fishing in the shallows.
Here is maybe a family of white pelicans - an adult male, a juvenile and a female. They are gorgeous when in flight with their wide wing span, tipped in black.

I love the glowing quality in the last picture. It makes the pelicans look other-worldy and dreamlike.
