“Can’t A Guy Get Any Sleep Around Here?!?”

Youngsters often need a little extra sleep and this juvenile brown pelican looks rather perturbed that I was interfering with his nap time!

Looks like he needs it, Phil – or are the red eyes normal?

  He does look a little blood shot in the eyes. Must have had a rough night. 🙂

  I felt bad for waking him up, but he seemed ultimately OK with my brief intrusion.

He looks sad poor guy. Loving the detail and his expression.

  He is probably tired of some guy (me) coming along and shoving a lens in his face when he is trying to get some sleep. 🙂

He’s so cute, Phil, but he does look tired out. 🙂

  He is kind of cute but possibly fought a stiff headwind over the ocean and now just wants to relax. 🙂

Great shot though disturb my sleep and you’d get a much more interesting photo!

  My neighbor’s barking dog that woke me early this morning likely would have produced some interesting images.
  I was in a worse mood then this young pelican, plus it’s probably easier for him to get right back to sleep. Lucky guy.
  Glad you liked this shot!
