Skywatch Friday: Looks Easy
 |
| From December 30, 2011 |
I was the pelican stalker in Surf City for a few nights last week. Fisherman would dump their bait overboard before taking their boats out of the water, and the pelicans were making the most of a free and easy meal. They put on quite a performance. Now and again, some cormorants would come in for a landing and bob around the big guys, who could not be bothered with the birds that didn't meet the height requirement on that ride.
Oh I don't see these beautiful creatures nearly enough! Super in flight capture!!
ReplyDeleteIf this doesn't look like a flying dinosaur I don't know what does. Great shot. Happy SWF.

Whoa! Great timing and a fantastic capture.
ReplyDeletePelicans are so ungainly and funny looking when perched on something but they are such graceful fliers and gliders.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful capture! Happy sky watching.
