Although they look very clumsy and awkward on the ground, I've found a new passion for photographing these big ugly birds. One of the cool things is they'll let you get pretty close to them without being spooked. And if you're anywhere along the coast of Florida, they're a dime a dozen.

This was shot from my Kayak in Crystal River Florida. All of these were shot with a Canon 1D, with a 28-300L USM IS, hand held

This one was sleeping on a Dock in Cumberland Island GA. Real Early in the morning before the sun came up.

This was on the ferry ride back from Cumberland Island during sunset and the bird was coasting in the boats wake behind us.

This one was flying beside us on a different ferry ride.
Thought I'd share some of them as I never thought Pelicans would be a topic of photography...LOL

I like the 'bird on a stick' look of the first shot. The Pelican sure is an interesting bird!

Thanks for the welcome. I've been looking for something like this to share my images with and get some critiques and hopefully learn a little in the process.

Nice shots. I love pelicans, and they are almost tame, I've even seen a tame one on our boat dock. #1 is my favorite. Made me laugh. :)
