Pelicans

So a few more bird photos...Once again, mostly pelicans. I still don't understand how something so ungainly can seem so elegant or how a creature so plug ugly can be that beautiful...

Two Brown Pelicans, the one with the brown head is a juvenile...

Formation Flight

Just for a little variety here's a fairly intense Snowy Egret...

Time for my Close Up

Back to Pelicans...

Takeoff

Liftoff

Incoming cormorant...

Touchdown

And some more pelicans...

This guy seems to be sending up a well known statue that hangs out at the Louvre...Or maybe it's a holdover from the Laguna Beach Pageant...

Morning with Winged Victory43

This looks like sunset, but actually a hot sunrise...

Copper Coast

It may be a while before the next post. We're heading out of town for Thanksgiving. Wishing you and yours the best for the holiday (and if you live somewhere where the Thanksgiving Holiday doesn't apply...have a super meal and eat too much anyway).

Best, Ding
