Pelican Time

[Nighthound]

Sunday evening I ent down in the inlet near the docks and came across the wintering Brown Pelicans hanging out and enjoying easy scraps from the fisherman returning and cleaning their day's catch. Sometimes it's fun just shooting easy targets. :D

Very nice light and details in these images. I particularly like the 4th image and the 3rd image is probably mu favourite one here with the slightly different angle that IMHO enhances the BG...The water drop is nice as well. Nice work!!

Lovely light! Nice job

Really good shots Steve :) We have a lot of pelicans around here.....I just need to go about 13 miles south to Dauphin Island and take my camera with me.

Thanks Gary, Najo and Sharon. I really appreciate it.

I wish the bird in the first shots had been fully-matured, maybe I'll get another shot this weekend if it's clear.
