Stretching Feels So Good
Stretching Feels So Good even for birds. I took this series of photos as I was watching these Brown Pelicans perched on post in the water. This one started to do a stretch and ended up looking like he was going to dive right into the water. But it was just a stretch.

😊 that would have made his day probably, a fish snack and a good stretch.
I wonder if he would have caught it if you threw it 🤔
Yes, they will if they are used to it. I watched them do that at fishing docks. When they are cleaning fish, the pelicans gather around and wait for them to throw the scraps over. I have a video of that, I will have to dig that one up.
You and your camera were at the right place at the right time!
Yes, they usually just sit completely still when I am watching them 🙂
Giving you lots of opportunities!
😀
I was expecting that pose to result in something else happening (must be all my years watching hawks get ready to launch). Looks like downward facing pelican yoga move ha!
I know, but he went right back to his sitting position. They are pretty good at sitting for long periods of time. So I see them stretching a lot. Great for photos.
They have such unexpected balance, surely you could think they would fall in 🙃 A fun series, Sandra.
Thank you Ellen, yes he looked liked he was really hanging on with those feet 🙂
Seeing this, I, of course, had to stretch!
I know, it is like seeing a yawn, just have to do it. 🙂
Maybe he’s into, Palato, Polate, Palotto or whatever they call it. At least he is exercising. More than I can say, for me.
Lol, I know what you mean Ron, it is a workout just to stretch. 😊
They have so much more character than their cousins the White Pelican 😂😂
They really do, I love the wing spans of the whites, but these guys are fascinating to watch diving.
he prepares to go and strechings his muscles
Yes, quite impressive stretch he did.
I thinks he’s into Yoga 😉
Yes, that is a good vision of what he might be doing. 🙂 best stretch ever. 🙂
Great observations. Lovely shots
Thank you 🙂
👌👌👌📷🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thank you 🙂
Training for the Olympics, huh? 🙂
I like that Jo, 🙂 good one. Like he is going to jump in the pool and do laps.
Goodness. That is quite a stretch.
It really makes their necks look much longer. 🙂
