The Pelicans Were Busy Today
Late yesterday afternoon we had a few brown pelicans start flying into the salt marsh area, possibly coming in from the ocean.
We enjoyed watching them flying and diving in among the oyster beds but as it got darker we had to leave them to dine alone.

Fantastico guardare le tue foto, sono bellissime. Complimenti caro Phil e grazie per la condivisione di tanta bellezza.
Ciao, Patrizia
Amazing shots.
I’m very happy you enjoyed them.
Grazie Pat, sono molto felice che ti piace le foto!
Such clarity and beauty, you can see every single detail of these amazing pelicans in these shots….and they show every single color — great pictures, and great shots, thank you Phil
Thanks a million for your kind, thoughtful comments Linda!
So incredibly agile for such large birds! Such lovely pictures, showing all their colours – you always get such detail, Phil!
In cases like this I’m happy to let the birds do all the work while I just grab the pics. 🙂 Thanks for looking Maggie!
Amazing captures, Phil. I’m in awe of your wonderful photography. 🙂
Well I really appreciate that Sylvia, thank you.
They made it on the site! I especially like that third one coming right at you.
That seems to be the deal with WP issues, wait until the next day and they often end up fixing themselves.
Glad you liked that front view penguin shot. I got a message this morning from some guy who claimed to be from Nat Geo saying they wanted that photo for a cover. Was that you that left the message?! 🙂
Remember Shultz from Hogan’s Heroes” I see nothing, know nothing!
Well that’s the safest policy. You certainly don’t want to be sent to “The Russian Front.”
Great shots.
Glad you enjoyed the pelicans.
Incoming !! The last shot is fantastic Phil!
There were three if them out there and they provided a lot of action and interest. 🙂
Such an amazing action series…I do love the pelican.
Thank you Charlie, and yes the pelicans can be quite entertaining!
I think in the third shot the pelican smiled for you. Beautiful series, Phil.
Maybe he was hoping I got the shot and made him look good too! Not sure about that last part though.
Loving these guys. They have gentle colors, but are so pretty in their own way. Love that last shot especially!
I’m happy you enjoyed seeing the big guy in action. They are always fun to watch when actively feeding.
Such great pictures! Thank you for posting them, they bring a smile to my face and they also warm
up our harsh winter months in Canada!
Well I’m thrilled you enjoy the photos and glad they bring a smile and a little warmth up there for you! Thanks very much. 🙂
