Thank you so much!
Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get those birds? And keep them in focus???

Glad you like these!

7. Beautiful pics, CalPeg. |
|
The pelican is similar to the albatross in that it is ungainly when perched, but beautiful in flight.

It is true, isn't it? These guys were all over the place, feeding like crazy...
I have never seen so many of them....
Stunning to watch, and frustrating to photograph!
I just kept hoping that some of them would be in focus.....and they were!

I really doubt that....hard to tell, though.....
It does look big in the pic.....
I did that on purpose......
I love to get things backlit....so dramatic!

I also love the little birds that run from the incoming wave, then chase the receding surf...
Thanks for the beautiful pics! :beer:

I thank you so much!
I have NEVER seen so many pelicans at the beach......
They were fishing like crazy......
The tide was in, so there were no little birds on the beach....

I can just feel the ocean breezes, the sand, the water . . . it makes me want to head to the beach and feed the pelicans! :hi:
