| 1) A muscovy duck was watching the yellow kayak go by. |
 |
| 2) Speaking of ducks, I rescued one today. A washer and dryer ought make it happy. It never ceases to amaze me what can be seen on kayak trips. |
 |
| 3) Was going to go up to Black Creek but remembered the log jam blocked the return trip so I turned around. It is not an easy paddle to get to Black Creek via the powerline ditch. Not many places to turn around either. |
 |
| 4) Yahoo! The log jam is gone so it is easy to get to Mobile River now. |
 |
| 5) Out in Mobile River, the birds were lining the shoreline. |
 |
| 6) The pelicans not on the bank could be seen overhead riding thermals in large flocks. |
 |
| 7) Nestled on the bank of the Pumphouse Canal were some love birds. |
 |
| 8) On the way into Black Bayou, three pelicans were headed my way. |
 |
| 9) Herons or egrets were shy today and stayed far away. |
 |
| 10) Pelicans were not shy at all and got right up close to the kayak. Great Paddle. |
