Big Guy Coming In

Right now most of the brown pelicans we see are flying around the beach area, but at certain times of the year they will come into the salt marsh at high tide to get some fishing done.

Fantastic images Phil but I love the second one. The symmetry between the pelican and the shadow is incredible.

Wow! He’s really big, but he made a great landing with hardly a splash. Great captures, Phil. 🙂

  You are right Sylvia they are big birds and also good point about the splash. Normally these guys hit the water like they were just tossed out of a moving vehicle, but this one actually looked somewhat graceful. 😀
