A Pod Of White Pelicans...
Yesterday Dottie and I went to Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. In one of the ponds along Black Point Wildlife Drive there were so many White Pelicans, Roseate Spoonbills, Snowy and Great Egrets, Avocets, and Wood Storks feeding it was beyond belief. In all the time I have been there, never have I seen such a grouping of birds. The Pelicans I am showing here would feed as large moving group, the large bills dipping into the water then raising above the surface to swallow the catch. Other pelicans were flying in from all around to join the feeding frenzy. The noise they made, a low guttural murmuring sound along with the splashing of bills into and out of the water. It was like... what do you photograph, how do you photograph to show the scene before you. Hopefully my image depicts a bit of what I witnessed. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.
