This last weekend we ventured out to Willard Bay with our tent trailer. Before we were joined by grand kids; before it got noisy and hectic, we took a drive out on the Bear River Bird Refuge. In my opinion, the pelicans stole the show. They are so immense, and so brilliantly white. It was especially thrilling to see a group of about 4 take flight from a still pond surrounded by willows. They were so graceful! And, once they open up their large wings, it is surprising to see the black contrast feathers. Their flight is quiet and flowing, like a ballet.
We took our leave of cars and speed,
Out upon the bay,
As the night was closing in
And pushing out the day.
There came a flow of pelicans
With such a gentle sway.
My soul sang out, my eyes were filled
In their gentle array.
As they drifted above the earth,
From dusk to dark that day.
Then I praised God for love on wings
In so many ways.
And joy and peace did come to me
As I watched the fading symphony
Join the end of day.
