Interesting shot indeed David
Good to see a Pelican trying to eat its self.

Wonderful catch, and especially cool how the shape of the extruded (?) pouch fills in the curve of the body. Pose and techs excellent, of course!

Thanks Gabriela and John for the comments. I'm glad you like the frame.
Thanks Diane. Yes that is the pouch that is being pushed out (extruded) by the neck of the Pelican. Also I am not sure if that gland is the opening of the pouch to the crop/stomach or if it is a salivary gland of some type?

Hi Dave,
The image is really gross! But I love John R's idea of a pelican eating itself - that will have me chuckling for a while...
Perfect image quality. But the view of the internal workings is always a bit gross! Fascinating to work out which bits are from where. Dark bit looks like the trachea, to me.
Best wishes, Gerald

Wow. Never seen anything like that before David. The details and colours are lovely. The bird stands out real well against the BG colour. Nice one.

Thanks everyone for the comments.
Gerald, I think you're right that does look like the trachea

Dave, a different post to say the least, maybe to clean out the 'ol pouch.
Nice beautiful blue ocean background and you even got some catchlight.

Wow Diane!! Can't figure out which one is groser? Your frame shows the trachea even better. A couple of wild captures for sure.

Hi Dave, very well timed to have captured this biology/anatomy lesson, and you have captured the angle of the bill so well. Excellent feather detail, tack sharp, and I do like the colour of the water.
