My Favorite Bird of Birds

My Favorite Bird of Birds, The Pelican. When in the south, one must go see the brown pelicans. Not only are they amazing to watch catching fish and landing on water. They can have a comical look to them as well, especially when they look right at you.

I was down by the water and these to characters were following me as I walked along the dock. They are looking for a hand out in the way of free fish. Which I did not have.

So I actually laid down on the dock and put my camera right above the water as they inched closer to see what it was. Which enabled me to get this nice photo of them at their level. I just love photographing these guys.

  1. These are all stunning pictures Sandra. I liked how they balance on that small and skinny piece of wood and pretty amazing the first photo and how you laid down to photograph them at eye level.

  2. Those are Dive Bombers. I used to take my son to watch them in Merritt Park in Oakland. They performed, wheeling and careening and diving straight down into the bay! Dive Bombers. Thanks for the memories!

  3. I love the white pelicans. They usually start appearing this time of year in Florida!

  4. Very unusual birds aren’t they? Love that photo with the black background! Also the last-but-one, showing its incredible wing span.

    1. Thank you Denzil, yes they are so unique looking and quite large birds. I think their wing spans are just beautiful. πŸ™‚
