I previously worked as a news and sports photographer. Recently I have been enjoying wildlife photography. My approach toward bird photos is similar to sports photography. I attempt to capture mostly action and hopefully a unique perspective.
A brown pelican comes cruising in from beyond the reeds of the salt marsh. These big birds take up a lot of airspace and generally get immediate clearance to land!

Phil, you always capture great shots, how about letting me know what size lens do you use, and buy who. It’s always a pleasure to get a daily does of one of your pics…………..thanks

Amazing shot considering the bird was flying toward you. This is a pretty unique angle, and one I rarely see others achieve successfully.

It does look like these birds can take up a lot of airspace. Do they fly in a big group?

Great photo! Love the yellow heads in cooler months. So glad the brown pelicans have made a successful comeback along the Strand. Remember when sightings were few and far between, now they are a daily joy to behold. Thanks for sharing another awesome bird!
