I think I started loving brown pelicans for the same reason as Jocko. Once they come to your attentions, it's hard not to love them. They are such a wonderful mixture of grace and clumsiness. Great image! Wonderful capture of him on the post and great color and detail!

GREAT shot! Hope this one stays OIL FREE! (A wonderful bird is the Pelican - It's BEAK can hold MORE than it's BELLY can!") WINK. (old ditty I learned as a kid).

Zoom IS a mush on this one! Especially since pelicans are so completely cool. Recent studies of dinosaur fossils have shown that more of them might have possessed feathers than originally thought, and well...for some reason, whenever I see pelicans, I think of what at least some dinosaurs might have looked like! Poor things! Feathers and that particular anatomy works for pelicans, but the idea of a carnivorous thing with scimitar teeth and feathers is just kinda funny! But anyway, onto this shot! I love the colors and the clarity, especially when zoomed in to full view! This is a graceful bird, beautiful in all of the right ways. This is great!

Capital clarity, POV and silhouetted contrast in this foto of the stalwart avian perusing his milieu, Dana. The pelican is brown because it was swimming in the oil spewed from the Gulf of Mexico BP gusher.
