Birds following Barge on the Cuyahoga

As I was driving to work this morning, I noticed a massive amount of birds flying over the Cuyahoga River. I pulled the car over and grabbed my camera. The birds were following one of the barges that transports materials up and down the Cuyahoga.

You might need to click on the picture to see the detail.

I didn't think the picture did it justice because you can't see much because of the distance, so I did a 12 second TV video of it (see below).

Pelicans Landing

As I mentioned in my previous post, I was visiting my parents in Florida. I had some technical difficulties with downloading my pictures, but I am going to be working my way through these images in the next couple of days along with my regular blog posts.

While I was visiting, I stayed with my parents at Pelican's Landing. When my mom was originally showing me around, I found it ironic and kind of cool that there were actually pelicans on the boat dock for the resort. I guess this was a situation where the owners didn't just make up a cute name, but something that was a bona fide point of interest.
