I finally got this ready to post, I think.
Thursday my husband and I went to Galveston. The wind was high (about 25 mph) and the waves were the largest I'd ever seen them without a storm brewing.
As I walked out on a jetty I watched a pelican who had the art of riding waves down to a science! He/she would ride over the wave, and catch a seafood dinner on the downside, paddle along to catch the next wave, etc.
As the waves built up larger and began to crest where Mr. B Pelican was fishing he'd spread his wings and skim the top of the foaming water. It was a thrilling sight to behold.
I was using my Canon 7d and the EF 100-400 is lens.
iso 200; f10, shutter at 1250/sec.
It was a bright-cloudy day about 1 pm.
