Duh!!  Today I realized the horn sound I had mistakenly placed as being caused by barge and tug traffic on the river is actually the sound of the camera panning!  ::)  Thank you camera operators, and thank you RRP for the aural clue about when there's camera panning going on!  ;)

This is a long video, but worth it - sunrise on the Mississippi Flyway Cam. Thanks RRP and camera operators:

For those of you interested in pelicans: currently there is lots of pelican migration activity near Lake Onalaska.  I'm several miles south of the lake and there has been a series of large squadrons circling in the sky and heading southward.  Scott Weidensaul's book on migration Living on the Wind has a wonderful description of pelican migration:  they are "wanderers from the northern prairies of the United States and Canada en route to the Gulf of Mexico.  There is something quietly regal about them, soaring in lockstep on down-bowed wings, necks tucked and bright orange beaks shining in the sun."  He continues describing them flying "in layered chevrons and long lines that rippled and snaked, as though playing giant games of crack-the-whip against the sky" [p. 122]. 

Thank you to the camera operators for their spectacular shots of all the activity from dawn to dusk!

Finn - I didn't even know I was interested in pelicans! ;) But I am and Weidensaul describes perfectly what I saw the pelicans doing just a couple of days ago! Thanks for the info!

Birdwatching has never had it so good.  Thanks RRP!!  And explore!!  Watching cottonball clouds floating down the river, storks, pelicans, sandhill cranes, great white cranes, geese, ducks, gulls, terns, waders, and wishing I knew their names, but happy just watching.  And then throw in the "cliff cam" and watch the LaCrosse Queen paddle on a mirror of God's beautiful blue sky....well, it sure gets the "zen" on! <3 <3 <3
