Does this view need improving?



Here's a lovely photo of Saskatoon's weir, courtesy of Steve Hiscock.


Steve has spent countless hours by the weir, photographing pelicans. He has been kind enough to let us use some of his stunning photos.




Here we get a great close-up of a male pelican looking particularly spiffy. We can find no evidence to support the notion that the fancy hairdo helps attract a mate... And we can't believe that a few kayaks in the background, or a big orange raft full of shouting boys and girls, would NOT upset this fellow's calm enjoyment of his favourite feeding ground!
