Very nice. The light of the setting sun gives the image a great tone.

Hehe! Great capture.. I wonder why most of the birds in your area are sleeping.. :o) 'Looking forward what kind of sleeping bird you're going to post tomorrow. :o)

Hmm, kind of like the 12 days of Xmas. Five sleeping pelicans. Tomorrow you'll have to have 6 flying somethings. Seriously, love the way the sunlight turns them red. Beautiful.

They look like little bunches of feathers left in careless piles ... very peaceful! :)

Oh my the light is incredible. Almost makes the pelicans take on the rusty color of the rock (which from the thumb I thought a croc)

Beautiful capture! Love the warm, late day light on these pelicans!
