Still Fishing

Brown Pelican backlit and silhouetted by late day sun on a recent late afternoon in the marsh. Despite the day winding down, he was still out there fishing trying to come up with a meal before heading off for the night.

  Oh I hate when that happens. The cat and I usually have our late night ice cream. 🙂

  Thank you Charlie, yes I tried to make the best of the back lighting I had. Sometimes no choice but to go full on silhouette. 🙂

  Most everybody out there was getting something. Of course the cormorants were getting most of everything. Those guys can clear out a lake in no time.
