Thanks, Bonny, for stopping by and leaving such a nice comment. We have tons of pelicans here. Just last night I sat on the beach and watched several of them dive into the water to catch fish (in mid-flight)

Fantastic photo capture!!! He looks like he’s inquisitive, too.

We don’t have Pelicans here on the west coat of Canada, so it’s a treat to see a photo like this!!!

Thanks for sharing such nice photos

Thanks, Lifecruiser! They weren’t exactly ideal models as they were constantly moving. They are really quick for such big, bulky and not very graceful birds.

Thanks, Jennifer! Yeah, we have a TON of them around here, especially at the Port, where this was taken.

Thanks, Grottogirl! He is kind of cute. Man, though, I wouldn’t want to stick my finger in that hooked beak of theirs.

They swarm the fish cleaning station of the charter fishing boats, just begging for the scraps. Some of them perch on top, like this fellow, but most of them congregate below in the water (like, about 30+ of them.) Every now and then the fish cleaner will throw up a chunk. If the one on top doesn’t automatically catch it in his beak, then it falls down below for the others to fight over. It’s free, fun entertainment.
