Pelicans
During the Day
During our stay in the Keys, I became entranced with
pelicans. They hung around the
campground in which we were staying in substantial numbers, and I had several
opportunities to photograph them.
The Star
This guy is a brown pelican, and exemplifies what I love about
these birds as a photographer – they are natural hams! I loved his pose, along with the wonderfully
blue water of the Gulf of Mexico behind him.
Pelican Portrait
From what I can tell from my little bird book, this guy is also
a brown pelican, but this guy is considered a juvenile – definitely more
brown. Love that blue/green water in the
background, too!
Pelican in Paradise
I love the laid-back peacefulness of this image. The empty dock behind him, and the clear
waters beneath him. It truly is a
pelican paradise, and not bad for humans, either!
Pelican on a Rock
This grouping of rocks was a favorite perch for several of the
pelicans, altho only one guy was there when I shot this. It gave them a look of the more open area of
the Gulf, so perhaps they could spot food easier? I really don’t know, but he does look cool,
just sitting there staring out to sea.
Enjoy!
