American White Pelican
Bolivar Flats - Texas Coast
After a little storm clean-up volunteer work at one of the sanctuaries on High Island, Ria and I decided to head to Bolivar to see who was hanging out. The tide was so far out the peeps were almost in international waters. :) Oh well, I was able to stalk a large group of white pelicans and take a few photos. They're always funny to watch at Bolivar. You get 50 yards closer, they move 50 yards further. Anyway, here's one of the images from the very last rays of sun as it dropped into the horizon. I used methods from APTATS to tweak the image. All comments welcome. Thanks for looking.
