On The Move

Here’s a few flight shots of some of the white pelicans from yesterday. As they were going back and forth feeding in the shore line marsh area, they would occasionally take short flight hops to the other side. I tried to zero in on a main group, then as they got closer I attempted to focus in on a smaller number before finally picking out a single bird to track.

It’s really fun seeing these big guys take flight!

Such cool shots! I really love the way you manage to capture the beauty in nature. (Is it odd that I’m suddenly hearing Willie’s “On The Road Again” playing in my head?)

My gosh what a great set of photos! I love these guys, and I like seeing what the bill/pouch looks like during flight.

Fantastic shot. I’ve never seen the white ones – only brown. Love these birds – they have such a prehistoric look.
