Tundra Swans, Accotink Bay WR

Two of the seven tundra swans we saw at Accotink Bay Wildlife Refuge, Ft. Belvoir, VA. 

White Pelican at Accotink Bay Wildlife Refuge, Ft. Belvoir, VA

My husband Fred and I decided to take advantage of the good weather and go out to a park. Since a white pelican had been seen at Accotink Bay Wildlife Refuge, and we hadn't been there before, that was our destination. Luck was on our side, and as we got out of the car, I spotted a large white object in the water on the far side of the bay. The binos indicated it was a bird; the scope that it was indeed a white pelican.

The last two pics where the pelican appears closest are digiscoped shots--I'd never had good success before but these didn't turn out too badly by my standards
