This guy is terrorizing the local birds at Unicorn Lake. He'll sit and watch those dark colored ducks dive and catch a fish and when they come to the surface he'll grab the duck by the head with his beak and steal its fish! I'm trying to get a picture of the action but it's tough. I do have a blurred picture of the action!...lol

I think the one closest to the pelican is a cormorant, or water turkey.

Cool ducks in that pond too, we don't see a whole lot of Canvasbacks around here.

I didn't think those big guys got that far north. Not sure I'd ever seen one until I moved to the coast, or at least don't remember.
Thanks, Billy

There are pelicans by the thousands on Grand lake at times, and most lakes in Oklahoma. I had one flying directly overhead on Tenkiller once, made a really high and long cast with a Carolina rig in his general direction. He squawked real loud and spit up a large fish,,,,,, my partner said," I think that's a bass!" as the fish was falling. We idled over and sure enough, about a 4 1/2 pounder still alive but floating. I quit liking pelicans that day.

Pelicans are sorry like that. Watch them do the same at Texoma.
I hate photobucket.

Awesome.
Wish the Pelicans would just eat the cormorants instead though. At the very least somehow fatally stab them.
Don't worry about the mule, just load the cart
