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!

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. 🙂
