I live in California, and I love to stand on the shore and watch the pelicans glide and dive. Beautiful photo, as always.

  We often have groups of these guys flying along the beach here, sometimes over the water, and sometimes over the beach. Thanks!

Forgot to tell you – when I said the other day that the birds were feeding heavily and I thought bad weather was coming – we have had fierce gales for the past two day!

That light on the wing really is “warm” light.
