Seeing an American White Pelican lift off from the water is an impressive sight.
A couple of wing flaps and a small splash
and they are airborne.
This time the Pelican wasn’t going far, he lifted up over this hummock and landed on the other side, out of my sight.

The last shot is absolutely outstandind Ellen.
Thanks, Hans, so glad that you liked it!
Beautiful shots, Ellen!
Thanks, Rebecca!
Wow! And Another Wow!
Love the color balance of the whole scene, and the bird’s reflections in the water.
And such a handsome subject!
You’ve outdone yourself again, Mrs. Jennings!

Thanks, and another thanks, Paz! That early morning light was fantastic and the sheer size of those birds make them fun to shoot.
