Pelicans are so photogenic!
Excellent capture. I was recently traveling and surprised by pelicans in South Dakota. I didn’t even get one shot, so this is a little consolation!
Excellent shot! During a visit to La Crosse last spring, we were surprised to see a pelican on Mississippi River levee. We grew up there and never saw one in the area until then. We had no idea they came so far north. A worker on one of the paddleboats docked at Riverside Park said they sometimes follow the barges up from delta.
Pelikans are such cool dudes. We can only see them in the zoo, but they always seem to love the camera.
Wren – Pelicans really are camera-friendly!!
Louise – I still am surprised to have them in the general area of Rockford, IL
MJ – that is cool… makes sense they’d follow the barges. I was surprised how far north they go to. Especially since “pelicans” are usually assumed to be the brown ones at ocean docks.
Gwendolen – they are definitely sooo cool. And also pretty odd fellows
Beautiful shot of the pelican on the wing, against the blue sky..
Nice shot! I got my first shots of birds in flight recently..I was so excited…
