Just Cruisin’ The Salt Marsh
This afternoon we were watching a brown pelican as it took a leisurely glide back and forth across the salt marsh.
The pelican would occasionally hop up and jump at a fish but mostly he was just taking it slow.
A great blue heron paid no attention to the pelican as it cruised on by, which surprised me a bit because I doubt that heron has seen a lot of pelicans lately.

Love that gliding motion – walking above the water 😉 Amazing feather detail!
Hey thanks a bunch glad you liked ’em!
Great tip about the shadows and the wing position.
more amazing images love them
I appreciate that, thank you!
Gorgeous captures, Phil. 🙂
Thanks for checking these out Sylvia and glad you enjoyed seeing the pelican.
Amazing pictures the birds look like they can live together quite happily.
Sometimes they all get along quite nicely. Other times not so much. 🙂
It looks like the action in the marsh was really hopping the day you took your photos.
There were quite a few egrets and GBHs out and about but I keyed in on this guy. 🙂
The light in these pictures is beautiful – and you caught it just right!
Thanks very much Maggie, glad you liked seeing our pelican visitor!
Amazing captures. Love this little story
I’m so happy you enjoyed it, thank you!
