Yesterday I spotted a large plume of smoke near my house. While heading out to investigate I crossed over the bridge at the High Rock Dam. Out of the corner of my eye I saw large white dots and was intrigued. I turned around and waited for the road to clear so that I could stop on the bridge where I observed several American White Pelicans!

I quickly returned home to grab my camera and set back out. The picnic and parking area by the bridge afforded great views. I also walked closer towards the dam for a better vantage point to observe the pelicans. Unfortunately, no Bald Eagles, which are also common in this area.
