Pelicans In The Farm Fields

Or what were, in drier times, farm fields.  Big, low-lying fields adjacent to the Rock River, on the outskirts of Fort.

White pelicans, which have, in the past decade, begun reappearing in Wisconsin. This flock of maybe a dozen birds is probably on its way to Horicon Marsh or Green Bay. Not sure what they are eating here as the water is only half a foot deep.

The in-town part of Fort is also experiencing high water—but still about 3 feet below the record flood.
