Brown Pelican

Well the activity has been rather slow here as of late but with the Brown Pelicans fishing the waters are a reminder
that its the fall season and wintering birds should be arriving in the coming months....:)

Hi Jim, this is a real nice capture. love the wing position.
I may crop to top off and take the green out.

Beautiful pose with the neck bent and the wing position. Wish for a slight head turn. But very nice lighting and details look great.

Ditto Denise. Lovely light, and intense hunting pose. You gotta love SoCal...

This shots are not easy, and although it works as it is a tad better HA would have been great and I am still between thoughts about the vegetation on the top. Congratulations!!

Love the colors and the symetrical wing pose, catching this action isn't easy, takes great technique, timing and experience.
